In partnership with ADAPT Community Network, Positive Exposure Gallery held an opening reception for artwork created by our people supported. Running from December 7, 2025 until January 15, 2026, Resilience as a Practice is a vibrant exhibition showcasing the work of disabled artists who are reflecting on what it means to be resilient. Through bold works addressing love, connection, and care these artists turn resilience into a shared practice rooted in interdependence, love, joy, and collective power.
