The 2025 Biennial brings together 14 regional and national artists and artist collectives to present thought-provoking works that explore the shifting concepts of migration, place, welcoming, and belonging. It invites reflection on how these themes shape our individual and collective identities in a world marked by movement and change. Through diverse mediums and diasporic perspectives, the exhibition fosters dialogue about the complex relationships between people and the spaces they inhabit.

Before the Americas Exhibition Tour
Saturday, November 8, 2–4pm
Join artconnexDC and curator Cheryl Edwards for a special tour of the exhibition Before the Americas at the Gillespie Gallery, located at George Mason University.
Before the Americas is an art historical survey featuring 45 works by Afro-Latino, Caribbean, and African American artists, many of whom have lived and worked in Greater Washington. These artists confront racial and colonial constructs and have often been invisible within common art historical narratives. Their works span painting, printmaking, sculpture, book art, performance, and video art. The exhibit traces the significance of these artists through four themes: Genetic Memory, Migration, Invisibility, and Interconnectivity.
Before the Americas curator Cheryl Edwards will lead a symposium about the exhibition on Saturday, October 4 at 1 p.m.
This exhibition has been made possible through the generous support of the Art Collection Fund at George Mason University. Please join our community of supporters by making a gift today.
