Reflections, distortions, subversions is the IVSA Exhibition 2026, marking the IVSA’s 40th anniversary. It brings together works that reflect on the heritage of visual practice in the social sciences, address ways of knowing marginalized beyond “the visual,” and propose subversive approaches to research-creation beyond existing disciplinary canons. The opening reception on 20 November, 7–10 p.m., features a roundtable with contributing artists. Artists: Grace Bradley; Alexia Bryan & Samvhardan Vishnoi; Hènna Zàmùṛd Butt; Snow Chen; Anna Fersztand; Sydney Hofstra; Sylvia Kouveli; Katrina Lolicato; Owen Moran; Wen He & Yang Cui; Wild American Dogs. IVSA Featured Artist: J Ehler. Curated by Julie Patarin-Jossec. The evening also features access to additional open studios at the Bridgeport Art Center.
