Good Morning/
Mourning America
Now in its second year, Good Morning/Mourning America is a multimedia exhibition born from the tension, heartbreak, and hope of our current cultural and political moment. Using only the exhibition’s title as a prompt, Texas, New Mexico, and Oklahoma-based artists will contribute works of visual art, music, and writing that reflect our fractured realities and shared humanity. Through powerful expression, a curated collection, panel discussion, and digital catalog, this project aims to stir reflection, spark dialogue, and remind us that even in division, connection is possible.
