The #notwhite collective is a group of 13 women artists whose mission is to use non-individualistic, multi-disciplinary art to make our stories visible as we relate, connect, and belong to the Global Majority. We utilize our arts practice singularly and collectively to Excavate Histories, Expose Realities, and Exorcise Oppression.
We are bi/multi-racial/cultural, immigrant or descendants of immigrants investigating the many ways we are seen or not seen, how we self-identify and how we seek liberation through sharing space and stories; research and art-making; discussing the history of imperialism and its effect on us, on the whole not-white world. We actively reject colonialism through our non-hierarchical process.
The #notwhite collective expresses the hybridized and multifaceted aspects of self-defined liberation; we accept cultural fluidity as a means of seeing and being seen, each member declaring their existence, individually and collectively, through our voices, bodies and art.

SPACE Gallery
Closing Reception: Sunday, May 14 | 3-5 pm
Book Party & Reading with Kevin Araujo & Special Guests
Featuring Kevin Araujo and other special guests, join the #notwhite collective for the closing reception of their retro/prospective exhibition at SPACE Gallery. The reception includes a book party and reading of excerpts from their new book #notwhite collective 2016-2022 in response to their exhibition.
The #notwhite collective 2016-2022 features past and current, individual, and collaborative works of the collective, embodying the diversity of their practices and the plurality of their voices. The works range from tenderness to rage, beauty to disgust, and the familiar to the bizarre. This exhibition is a sharing of their experiences, and how they connect to their identities, families, and bodies; it is a marker towards their future, and it is the beginning of furthering their hearts into the land and space they call home.
