Join us for "Resurrective Kinship", a new exhibit by Zoe Nicole Nielsen. Artist reception: August 27th at 5pm. Exhibition runs August 27–November 5, 2026.
"As a chronically ill person whose survival depends on continuous medical intervention, I live in a body that was not built to endure. My existence is not evidence of my strength but of circumstance: I was born human, a species deemed worth saving. I only work with animals that have died from natural causes, stillbirths, maternal rejection, illness, veterinary administered euthanasia, or from accidents such as roadkill. This shapes a profound kinship with the animals I preserve, bodies that, like mine, were too vulnerable to survive on their own. The tension between human-animal privilege and non-human-animal vulnerability underpins my practice, which positions taxidermy as a quiet act of grief." - Zoe Nielsen
Join us for the reception and explore work that examines vulnerability, care, and memorial.
