Washington, DC | Private Tour – A SKY SHATTERED GLASS REFLECTED BY THE SHINING SUN at Culture House

Please join us for a private tour of the exhibition, A SKY SHATTERED GLASS REFLECTED BY THE SHINING SUN, on view at Culture House, with opening remarks by Cicie Sattarnilasskorn, Culture House’s Gallery Director and a private artist-led tour of the exhibition with Stephanie Mercedes. 

The materials employed in the exhibition are both profound and striking, ranging from melted bullets and destroyed weapons to soap, wax, and seeds. The exhibition features a series of installations that explore vulnerability in the context of the queer body, however, rather than portraying vulnerability as a weakness, the works presented in this exhibition encourage the viewer to consider vulnerability as a powerful weapon.
