What It Could Be

Co-curated by AJ Girard and Easy Otabor, What It Could Be is a group exhibition in partnership with Rebuild Foundation that features the work of 24 international artists. Each artist contributes to a diverse exploration of mediums and themes that reflect the breadth of contemporary artistic practice.

Girard and Otabor’s shared commitment to making art accessible is a guiding principle throughout What It Could Be. It serves as both a consideration and a statement, inviting viewers to reflect on matters of identity, familial bonds, and societal structures. Through their co-curation, they highlight a community they believe has a rightful place in the art world, emphasizing the power of representation, observation, and advocacy.

What It Could Be marks Girard and Otabor’s second group exhibition together. Hosted at the historic Stony Island Arts Bank during Anthony Gallery’s residency, it stands as a testament to the possibilities of inclusion and the transformative potential of creative expression.

The exhibition is on view at Stony Island Arts Bank at 6760 S Stony Island Ave from September 22nd to October 23rd, 2022.
