I Can’t Go On, I’ll Go On borrows its name from a phrase about perseverance by Samuel Beckett. Whether exploring legacies of the past that are carried into the present, showcasing different flavors of sustenance, or reimagining social frameworks that can reshape the future, the artists in the exhibition recognize the importance of nurturing a collective web of support as well as acknowledging how one is situated in the world. To sustain is not just to exist, but to resonate through time. In our current economic, political, and ecological climate, this work is more necessary than ever.
