We Dance: An Art Exhibition by Jennifer Q. McCary @ Walter E. Terhune Art Gallery
Jan 23 @ 11:30 am – 7:30 pm

Professionally and as an artist, Jennifer McCary is an agent of change. As a diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging (DEIB) professional, she is transforming policies, organizations and actions. In her other capacities, she is captivating and transforming hearts and minds. McCary believes that art has always been the bridge between our differences, and this exhibition intends to connect the essence of the professional and artistic version of who she is. This art exhibition was inspired by the poem WE. DANCE. written and performed by Hope Boykin and members of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. The emotions in the spoken word guided McCary through the creation of this collection of works. Observing each piece in the context of dance being the art form dancers use to emote when their hearts are happy, peaceful, bewildered or broken, this collection encourages you to consider how you personally handle heartbreak, loneliness, excitement and joy. The title artwork “When Our Hearts Break We Dance” is a mixed media creation on the racial reckoning this nation began to come to grips with in 2020. The goal of this exhibition aims to remind viewers that we all deal with things such as unconscious bias, unconscious doubt (a term coined by the artist), heartbreak, joy, passion, power and peace. Despite what we are conditioned to believe about our differences, the beauty of humanity rests in our similarities. Like these dancers, use your passion and gifts to fix that which is broken. unconsciousdoubt.com
