The show includes work from multiple creative collectives: a group of four women-identifying students from a local alternative educational institution artists working within the Ohio Prison Arts Connection program in order to connect people with art inside and outside of prisons a group of women working through their experiences of trauma and recovery by learning new skills in storytelling and woodcutting and an ad-hoc crew of immigrant/refugee artists and artisans led by an internationally renowned artist. Critical Mass is an exhibition featuring artists working within the context of a larger collective, galvanizing as a group to envision brighter futures.
