Creative Escape by Brittany Mona
We Were Always Here is a testament to presence — a bold declaration that Queer BIPOC and BIPOC communities have always been integral to the cultural and historical fabric of America. As curators and artists, we, Sydney Buffalow, Nikki Brooks, and C. Alexandria Bernard, have intentionally shaped this exhibition as both a remembrance and a celebration.
This collection amplifies voices too often marginalized or erased, bringing forward narratives of identity, resistance, love, and legacy. Each piece stands as a powerful reminder of the resilience and beauty that has persisted despite attempts to silence it.
Our intention is not only to reflect the history but to challenge its omissions — to expand the narrative and ensure that those who shaped our world are seen, heard, and honored.
We Were Always Here is more than an exhibition; it is a powerful assertion of presence, a reclamation of space, and a promise that our stories will continue to shape the future.
