RESILIRE Opening Reception
(reh-zil-ee-reh)
A Latin verb and the root of Resilience, Resilire means to rebound quickly from difficult conditions, to spring back to shape. This group exhibition features twenty RI-based artists who offer a creative tribute to ecological resilience through a variety of mediums: eco-art, recycled materials, mixed media, print-making, ink, painting, photography, and collage. Resilire asks us: How do we mirror nature’s resilient response to constant change? What ecological role models can we draw inspiration from? How do we bend our daily lives without breaking, self-reflect, and adapt when facing adversity? What seeds can we plant to spring back when challenged? In what ways can we mold a resilient community under pressure? Explore how these artists spring back in Resilire.

This exhibition is hosted in part at Farm Fresh RI, who believe in a New England abundant with diverse family farms and fertile soils, with locally and honestly produced foods and flavors at the heart of every table. Originally inspired by a Brown University student project, FFRI was founded in 2004, incorporated in 2006, and received 501(c)3 nonprofit status in 2007. Today their mission is as it was from the start — to grow a local food system that values the environment, health, and quality of life of the farmers and eaters in our region."
