Practicing Resilience: A Contemporary Group Exhibition at BallardWorks

Curated by Seattle-based artist Kalina Winska, Practicing Resilience brings together sixteen contemporary artists working across painting, sculpture, installation, video, and film. The exhibition explores resilience not as a fixed trait but as an active, evolving process—a creative response to personal, environmental, and cultural challenges. Through material experimentation, repetition, and vulnerability, the artists address themes of adaptation, care, grief, and survival, forming a multifaceted portrait of endurance and creativity in uncertain times. The multi-floor layout of BallardWorks—ranging from narrow corridors to an open room and a dark basement for time-based media—enhances the show’s contemplative and immersive qualities. Participating Artists: Nikita Ares, Arthur Asriyants, Nahom Ghirmay, Elle Glasse, Soo Hong, Jia Jia, Oneyung Kim, Joanna Pałys, Megan Prince, Andrzej Rafałowicz, Bryan Stryeski, Dana Taft, Lila Thomas, Impish Ties, Nahaan, and Noelle Whitaker.
