CVA presents Dance of Resistance, an exhibition featuring LGBTQ+ artists who voice the stories of their communities through figural works of art that offer pathways to healing and empowerment. Approaching their work from unique viewpoints, they employ varied media to present themes from lived experience and imagined futures. The artists unite in using their art as a means of activism, visually conveying issues important to themselves and their communities. They amplify silenced voices, expose myths, and promote a dialogue that invites reflection on the human experience, illuminating the power of art to inspire change and foster understanding in our diverse world. These figural depictions place a Queer bodily presence firmly in the spotlight, unapologetically claiming their presence within society.

Dance of Resistance was curated by Jenna Miles and Cecily Cullen. 

The Center for Visual Art (CVA) is the off-campus art gallery for MSU Denver, showcasing contemporary artists whose work sparks dialogue and creates pathways to change. CVA offers free admission for everyone to its exhibitions.
