Reclaiming Orange

Orange — a hue that, in recent years, has been associated with the current leader wreaking havoc on our country—tarnishing a color that is rich with complexity and depth that embodies the warmth of the sun, the textures of autumn leaves, and the joy of vitality.

This exhibition, curated by our founder, Tamara White, embarks on a journey to liberate the color from negative connections while celebrating its diverse meanings across cultures, art, and history. 

In Eastern philosophies, orange symbolizes transformation and enlightenment; in Western art, it conveys energy and emotion. By focusing solely on its recent political connotations, we risk overlooking the multifaceted roles this vibrant color has played throughout time.

This exhibition brings together artists from various backgrounds, each exploring orange through their unique perspectives. Their works challenge us to move beyond limited associations and rediscover the color's broader significance. As you view the images, we invite you to reflect on how colors, especially orange during this tumultuous time, can be reclaimed and redefined.
