If the blocked artist were free, would the world breathe easier?

Exhibition Dates: November 16 - December 18, 2025   

Opening Reception: Sunday November 16, 2:30-5pm

If the blocked artist were free, would the world breathe easier? is an experimental installation based on the work of Henry Darger, created by artist Danielle Giroux. Through innovative use of found objects, VR headsets and tactile elements, this exhibit guides the viewer through a series of short, immersive narratives. “Ito Meikyu” invokes Japanese art and literature to create a virtual interactive, wandering space composed of plants, animals, objects, people and calligraphy for the viewer to explore, choose, and contemplate the meaning of choice in our lives. “Rockey” takes the viewer into the life of an unhoused woman on the day she and her community are ousted from their makeshift homes in a city park. Photos, music, and psychedelic animations tell a story of privation, despair, and hope while inviting us into the inner richness of some of society’s most vulnerable members.
