Curtis Holder exhibits in ‘Fragile’: a collective exhibition uniting 20 international artists in a powerful response to global instability

Fragile is a poignant collective exhibition bringing together 20 international artists in a powerful response to global turmoil, curated by performance artist and activist Daniel Lismore.

The exhibition opens on 21 November at The Bomb Factory’s Marylebone Gallery, in support of artists who have been persecuted, displaced, politically exiled, and subjected to racial or gender injustice.

The show explores fragility as human condition or even pre-condition, from the experience of pain and loss to the historical situations when both dehumanisation, and human fragility, emerge massively, as we can witness it today. 

It redefines the importance of art and art-making in the times when the magnitude of one’s experience is beyond coping capacity and comprehension.

The exhibition curator Daniel Lismore explains, “In my experience, art has been the answer transforming pain into purpose and serving as a bridge to something greater. Every artist in this exhibition brings forth a piece of that transformative power. 

 “Together, these works create a powerful conversation, inviting us all into a deeper shared experience in a call for empathy, resilience and a commitment to compassion.”

Visit the exhibition from 21 November until 2 December at The Bomb Factory, Marylebone Road, London, NW1 6JQ.
