We Want Bread, and Roses Too! was a 2-person exhibition held at The Frame Gallery (Pittsburgh, PA) from February 14-17, 2025. Me and another student, Zsofia Markus, 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.
