Graduation Day, featuring photographer and poet Robert Delk, is an art exhibition born from the decision to withstand. As we stand at the edge of life, the choice is to create instead of collapse, and to pour light into the shadows becomes art. From that choice came this collection of stories, images, and triumphs.

Graduation Day honors the crossings we make when we refuse to give up: from grief to grace, despair to determination, struggle to self-worth. It’s for the Black men, women, and children whose resilience is a ceremony of its own: unshaken, unbroken, and beautifully alive.

• Opening Reception: October 10, 2024,  6 p.m. - 9 p.m.
