ROOTED 'Rooted' presents work by photographers whose practices are shaped by place — artists who understand that creative work does not emerge from urgency, but from time, familiarity, and a deep relationship with the environments that hold them. The exhibition brings together photographers Jorden DeGaetano and Ian Merzwinski. Each artist approaches image-making as a form of observation, returning again and again to the landscapes, rituals, and moments that have shaped their way of seeing. Their photographs are not simply captured — they are grown through patience and presence. Civil Coffee has always operated with the same philosophy. A café is not just a place to drink coffee, but a place where routine becomes ritual and community takes root. Within these everyday spaces, people gather, pause, and find the conditions that allow creativity to emerge. Rooted reflects on what artists — and communities — need in order to grow: a sense of place, a sense of belonging, and the quiet stability of returning to the same ground again and again.
