Join for the opening reception of “Edge of Softness,” a group exhibition guest curated by and featuring Cynthia Yadira Gonzalez and Alyssarhaye Graciano.

Opening reception: Saturday, November 1, 5-7p
On view: November 2 - December 7
38 South Second Street, San José

This exhibition, “Edge of Softness,” delves into complex layers of softness, challenging the belief that strength must be synonymous with toughness. Often seen as an insult, being called soft is perceived as a lack of assertiveness, indecisiveness, or weakness. By reframing softness as a form of strength, these artists highlight its true power: vulnerability, empathy, and emotional intelligence.

Featuring:
Alyssarhaye Graciano, alyssarhaye (guest co-curator)
Cynthia Yadira Gonzalez, (guest co-curator)
Lydia Rae Black,
Mario Montes Pozo,
