Current Exhibit

Title: Breaking the Silence on Gender-Based Violence

Dates: June 20 – September 17, 2025

About: Part of the City of Sacramento’s Emerging Curators Fellowship, Breaking the Silence is a communal act of care, resistance, and truth-telling. This exhibit centers the lived experiences of survivors of gender-based violence (GBV)—a crisis that affects every corner of our communities but is too often silenced or ignored.

The exhibition features the work of Lauren Baggett, whose Kintsugi Collection draws on the Japanese tradition of repairing broken pottery with gold to explore the beauty that emerges from trauma; Pata Salada, whose deeply personal and vulnerable pieces speak to survival, memory, and transformation; and curator NJ Mvondo, who contributes two digital works reflecting hope and collective resilience.

“This exhibit was curated with intention and deep respect for the courage of survivors,” says NJ Mvondo, curator and founder of the Interactive Healing Arts Project. “Art is more than a product made for our entertainment or consumption. Art makes space for unveiling but also truth-telling, for grieving but also for comfort, and for collective healing, organizing, and mutual accountability."

Breaking the Silence pays tribute to communities whose experiences with gender-based violence are often marginalized or erased, including Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Black women, trans and nonbinary survivors, and those impacted by intimate partner violence. The exhibit is free and open to the public during regular City Hall hours.

Breaking the Silence also honors the service providers, advocates, and healers who walk alongside survivors every day and continue to build pathways toward justice and care.
