Radical Reimagining @ NICO

Curators: Adrienne Wheeler and Cheyenne Ceasar

Radical Reimagining @ NICO is a dynamic collection of works that challenge conventional frameworks and invite us to envision new realities. In this exhibition, artists use their creativity to break free from the constraints of tradition, embracing alternative perspectives on identity, culture, and society. Through provocative imagery and innovative mediums, these works reframe the world around us, encouraging viewers to see beyond the surface and imagine a future shaped by possibility, transformation, and radical change. This is an exhibition where the act of imagining becomes a form of revolution.

Radical Reimagining @ NICO, in partnership with NJPAC, highlights regional artists in one of Newark’s premiere restaurants – NJPAC’s NICO Kitchen + Bar, One Center Street, Newark. The cozy lounge and restaurant provide an intimate gathering space that is further enlivened by regional art that reflects the diaspora that is Newark.
