Self Adjacent is a traveling group exhibition curated by Sarah Irvin and Tracy Stonestreet. This show examines the transforming experience of parenthood by artists as they navigate their many identities alongside and within the field of caregiving. This experience is impacted by a multitude of different factors which vary from person to person, and inevitably change over a lifetime. 

Artists in the exhibition take an expansive approach to both concept and materials that each uniquely engage in the conversation around parenthood and identity. Through photography, performance, painting, printmaking, video, textile, and sculpture, Self Adjacent features diverse viewpoints from artists across the United States.
