The word ‘sustain’ suggests persistence and endurance. It’s durational: a sound, a gift, an action. While it’s rooted in care and nourishment, it also acknowledges that we survive hardships that leave physical or emotional scars. What links these definitions is the need for community and connection to actively navigate the challenges of everyday life.
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. 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.
