Join us for the opening reception of Wearing, Wearing, guest curated by Felicity Wong - the second of three exhibitions in Union Hall’s 2026 Rough Gems series!
Light refreshments will be provided by Ratio Beerworks. Union Hall is a nonprofit art space and welcomes donations.
Curated by Felicity Wong, Wearing, Wearing features six artists who employ strategies of abstraction, repurposing, amalgamation, and deconstruction to investigate the relationships between clothing and decay. Embedded in histories of racial and colonial capitalism, the garment industry has not only laid waste to our environments, but also rendered garment laborers invisible, dispensable, and machine-like. Moving away from aspirations towards luxury fashion, this exhibition asks how mundane, cheap, and dying garments can contribute to but also help us navigate landscapes of decay. Artists include Sarah Darlene, Flora Wilds, Allison Sheldon, Allegra Giddings, Elle Hong, and Paloma Jimenez.
The exhibition will be on view through August 8, 2026 with open gallery hours Wednesday - Saturday from 12 - 6pm.
