Polarity: The Tension of an Emerging World

Level Ground's first group show since before the pandemic, curator Bri Stokes invited over 20 artists for a show at Robinson S.P.A.C.E. that was open from Nov 5-11, 2022. We celebrated opening night with live performances from Liliana Jeanine, Goose Pimple, Rhys Langston, and Sevyn.

CURATOR STATEMENT: 

"Our world is changing. Amidst the events of the ongoing pandemic, we find ourselves at a crossroads. Behind us, the Ways of Before—the structures built for us by capitalism, by patriarchy, by rigidity, and by an unwillingness to accept who and what cannot conform. Ahead of us, the road is clear. The rising dawn unfolds, a wayshower of golden sunlight, whispering the quiet hum of uncharted possibilities. This hum is building, mounting, ricocheting within us, clawing with gentle insistence, bartering for its freedom. Can you hear it? Polarity: The Tension of an Emerging World unveils the secrets of that hum. Headed by a talented team of artists and innovators from both Level Ground and beyond, Polarity explores the push-and-pull of a global paradigm shift and a collective need for healing, as seen through the eyes of those seeking to lead a new way forward. Through a fascinating exhibition of visuals, music, art and performance, Polarity perfectly captures the strength, power and innovation of the human spirit, and the resilience of our optimism in the face of the unknown. Let this be a moment of joy for you. Let this be a space of healing, release and celebration. The sun has not set—it is rising, and the road is clear."
