The Untitled Space 

By Coco Dolle

In the face of an increasingly extreme political landscape in the United States - marked by threats to civil rights, rising authoritarianism, and deepening polarization - art emerges as a powerful force of resistance. UPRISE 2025, a bold and timely group exhibition curated by Indira Cesarine, unites 100 artists in a collective vision for a future defined by justice, equality, and freedom. Opening on International Women’s Day, this compelling showcase also marks the 10th anniversary of The Untitled Space Gallery’s feminist programming at its Tribeca location in New York, reaffirming its commitment to activism through art.

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. 

In her curatorial statement Cesarine mentions: "UPRISE 2025 continues our mission to amplify voices that are too often silenced, challenging the systems that perpetuate inequality while offering a hopeful vision for the future—one where justice, freedom, and human dignity are not just ideals, but realities.”
