“The Grass Is Greener” is an interdisciplinary exhibition that includes works by artists such as Destiny Santiago, Ashley Aponte-Rivera, Irene I-Shea Shaikly, Noni Kia, Kenyatta Muzzanni Robles and DJ Trends. Highlighting the accuracy of messages in “The Grass Is Greener”, while also steeped in symbolism, this exhibition emphasizes reflection, collaboration, and community —through personal/ individual and collective experience—depicting life’s growth and grief. The collection of works will demonstrate the interpretations of visions, predictions, and interpretative transformation that came to fruition and statements that followed each experience individually and/or collectively and resonated with those impacted by this event.
