What We Carry: A Community Art Exhibition & Dialogue. Presented by What’s Your Elephant™. Curated by Niki Lopez. What We Carry: A Community Art Exhibition & Dialogue is an artist-led exhibition and community activation curated and produced by Niki Lopez and presented by What’s Your Elephant™, a 501(c)(3) arts and education nonprofit that uses art and facilitated dialogue to address what often goes unspoken. Rooted in visual art, social practice, collage-making, and collective dialogue, What We Carry asks: What are we holding? What has been passed down? What have we survived? What are we ready to name, hold differently, or transform together? The exhibition brings together selected works by invited and submitting artists whose practices engage themes of identity, memory, healing, belonging, resistance, grief, visibility, care, ancestry, and transformation. This exhibition is not only about hardship. It is also about what sustains us: beauty, breath, ritual, creativity, community, softness, spirit, memory, and the possibility of being held.
