“Shifting Realities: 12 Artists Finding Place in Uncertain Times “ was an exhibition presented at Taller Puertorriqueño from March 21 to May 17, 2025.

This video is the first in Activate's "In the Field" program. "In the Field" is a digital visual initiative that aims to cover arts/culture events across the Greater Philadelphia region, specifically featuring underrepresented artists.

Exhibition description:
“This exhibition brings together 12 Philadelphia-based artists to explore what defines shared reality in an era of shifting historical narratives, eroding facts, and silenced identities. Shifting Realities highlights a diverse group of artists whose practices confront today’s political polarization and uncertainty. Through their work, they navigate the tension between instability and resilience, seeking ways to reclaim meaning, connection, and place in a world in flux.” (Courtesy of Taller Puertorriqueño).
