Curated by Connelly, the interdisciplinary works of UNBOUND address issues of emotional abuse, physical abuse, financial abuse, grooming, and/or exploring the use of art as a mechanism for healing from trauma. One of Connelly’s main goals is exploring the use of art as a mechanism for healing from trauma.
“As a survivor of domestic violence, I was called to organize this exhibition. These issues are incredibly prevalent, which became even clearer to me as submissions and survivors' stories courageously graced my inbox,” said Connelly. “The collective grouping of work in UNBOUND is a visualization of artists’ healing journeys as they navigate their personal trauma.”
