We Want Bread, and Roses Too! was a 2-person exhibition held at The Frame Gallery (Pittsburgh, PA) from February 14-17, 2025. Another artist, Zsofia Markus, and I organized this exhibition in response to America's volatile sociopolitical climate, heightened in the wake of the 2024 election. We addressed the current moment with criticality and compassion, foregrounding art as a medium for joyfully and critically challenging doomerism. The two of us have bonded over our experiences as second-generation immigrants negotiating our complicated relationships with America as a nation, an identity, and an idea.
