UNBOUND is a groundbreaking exhibition exploring the intersections of Blackness and the cosmos, curated by Key Jo Lee. Inspired by the essay "Gesturing Toward Infinitude: Painting Blue/Black Cosmologies," the show invites visitors to reimagine Blackness as infinite—expansive, unknowable, and cosmically rich. Featuring a global and intergenerational group of artists, the exhibition spans painting, sculpture, installation, and video, traversing the historical and speculative, the scientific and the spiritual. Three core themes guide the journey: Geo-Cartographic (Blackness mapped across earthly and celestial terrains), Religio-Mythic (Blackness as origin, cosmology, and creation story), and Techno-Cyborgian (Blackness as posthuman shaped by technology and hybridity). More than an exhibition, UNBOUND is a philosophical inquiry and sensory experience with public programs, an onsite learning lab, and community-written labels.
