Growing Pains is a collaborative exhibition and coalition of works by artists Sumera Khan, Shamara Peart, Shanique Peart, and Alicia Udvari. Each artist delves into relationships with family, cultural identity, and community, to inspect the idea of growth and transition as they navigate through various stages in their lives and artistic careers.

Meeting through the Twofold Residency, led by Co-Directors Jill Glatt and Berlin Reed, four BIPOC artists were presented an opportunity to dive into their practice in community with others—sparking relationships, challenging discussions, and introducing new collaborations.
