Theda Sandiford: Free Your Mind

Free Your Mind invites participants to release microaggression experiences by inscribing them on ribbons. This evolving installation transforms personal pain into collective healing, creating a public record that sparks dialogue around bias and belonging.


Theda Sandiford is a St. Croix-based interdisciplinary artist transforming fiber and found materials into powerful works exploring racial trauma, memory, and community. Her socially engaged practice fosters dialogue on equity and healing. Her work is held in major collections, including the Guggenheim and Pittsburgh Children’s Museum.


Ms. Muscle: Love is a Muscle

Ms. Muscle appreciates you and cheers you on to be your “breast!” She will lead a fanciful exercise routine to help you get fit and in touch with cosmic loving force energy. Her whimsical workout includes the important laugh muscle. 


Ms. Muscle encourages people of all genders to be their "biggest and breast self." Venues include the Après Avant Garde Festival on the SI Ferry, Art in Odd Places: Invisible, HOME ROOM IG Live, Linda Mary Montano’s 80th Birthdayarama, Every Woman Biennial, and the Ms. Muscle Monument Tour.


Amy Keefer: Radical in its Romance
I began weaving the portraits of villains into these fishnet stockings in 2022. The labor of restoring justice in a broken society is forever incomplete, and more urgent now than ever. We know this work is never done, but today with transparency and visibility, we strengthen one another in our dissent.


Amy Keefer’s practice is rooted in wearable art, simultaneously addressing textile practices and relational aesthetics. Conscious of the constructs at play when dressing and the cultural resistance of making, her aim is to awaken deep complications surrounding labor, trauma and commerce using her own body as an exploratory site.
