Unsettling Grounds is a pilot platform showcasing experimental and monumental works by Black, Brown, Indigenous & rural artists. Lead and curated by Marisa Williams, fabricated by Dream Syndicate, and featuring work by Marie Tattiana Aqeel, Joumana Altallal, Myra Anderson, April Branham, Tanesha Hudson, Aidyn Mancenido, Alma Rayen Molina, Kweisi Morris, Adrienne Jacobson Oliver and Sandy Williams IV, with support from Amber Smith, Brandon Lee, and The Bridge Progressive Arts Initiative.
