Since its inception, the gallery has featured over 50 exhibitions and presented the work of more than 500 artists—many of whom have used their platforms to to inspire and empower others while speaking out against political injustice, inequality, and oppression. UPRISE 2025 continues this legacy, bringing together artists whose work confronts the challenges of today’s social and political landscape and envisions a future rooted in justice, equality, and freedom.
Presented in collaboration with nonprofit initiative Art4Equality, the UPRISE 2025 exhibition celebrates the power of art to inspire resistance, fuel activism, and catalyze change, and will feature works that address the most pressing political, social, and cultural issues of our time. As we continue to face rising political extremism, threats to civil rights, and an increasingly authoritarian climate, UPRISE 2025 provides a platform for artists who use their work to respond, resist, and reclaim their power.
This exhibition brings together artists of all genders from The Untitled Space’s extensive history of exhibitions, along with several new exhibitors, many of whom have used their art to address issues such as gender equality, immigration rights, reproductive justice, and social justice. With a particular focus on the ongoing struggle for women’s rights, LGBTQ+ rights, immigration rights, and the fight for equality across all races and genders with the attacks against DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) programs, the UPRISE 2025 exhibition is a declaration of resilience in the face of adversity.
