Scroll for more details.WHAT’S ON VIEWRewon's second solo exhibition, suspended belief, brings together paintings, drawings, poetry, and multimedia sculptures that reflect on her experience of leaving the evangelical Christian faith she was raised in. Organized into four chapters—Genesis, Exodus, Lamentations, and Revelation—the exhibition traces the arc of the artist’s religious deconstruction, from inherited belief to questioning, grieving and rebuilding identity.By holding nostalgia alongside critical curiosity, the exhibition explores what is gained and what is lost when we question narratives we inherit. While rooted in the artist’s experience, suspended belief invites viewers to imagine what could emerge if we allow ourselves to change.As part of Future Front’s ongoing Community Studio exhibitions, suspended belief reflects the journey of Austin-based multidisciplinary artists through the city. Rewon participated in Future Front’s 2024/25 Artist Residency program.HOW TO ATTENDThe opening reception for “suspended belief” is free and open to the public.
