THE UNTITLED SPACE
45 Lispenard Street NYC
In celebration of The Untitled Space’s 10th anniversary, the Tribeca gallery opened “UPRISE 2025: The Art of Resistance” a group show curated by gallery founder Indira Cesarine. One hundred artists joined forces for this landmark exhibition, which opened on March 8th in honor of International Women’s Day, and is on view through March 2025 for Women’s History Month, celebrating a decade of art, activism, and unwavering resistance at The Untitled Space.
The gallery presented a VIP preview, followed by an opening reception, which saw many of the artists featured in the exhibition in attendance. Hosted by gallery founder Indira Cesarine, notable guests and artists in attendance included Alanna Vanacore, Alison Jackson, Andrew Soria, Anna Delvey, Annika Connor, Antonio Ferme, Ashley Barronette, Ashley Chew, Asia Stewart, Aubrié Costello, Avalon Ashley Bellos, Brana Dane, Brea Cubit, Brinton Brewster, Carla Sosenko, Chloe Youssef, Claudia Leung, Clay Lambert, Cole Witter, Dena Paige-Fischer, Desmond Sam, Diane Brill, Isabel Sierra Aka The Love Whip, Jasmine De Silva, Jeana Klein, Jodie Herrera, Julie Walker, Kafui Akakpo, Katie Cercone, Kristin O’Connor, Kristopher Fraser, Leo Braudy, Lola Jiblazee, Mary Tooley Parker, Michael Rose, Nurit Schwartz, Omar Hernandez, Ramses Rubio, Rebecca Batz, Richard Booth, Samara Bliss, Sunday Olaniyi, Tinu Naija, Tony Jones, Trinity Yvette, Ty-Ron Mayes, and Victoria Selbach.
Guests enjoyed drinks sponsored by Owl’s Brew, Pamos, Ghia, Three Spirit, Topo Chico, and Smartwater, as well as giveaways courtesy of Winx while checking out the exhibit which featured artworks across all mediums, including painting, sculpture, photography, mixed media, digital art and video, along with works on paper and fiber art. The UPRISE 2025 exhibition brings together artists of all genders from The Untitled Space’s extensive history of exhibitions, along with several new exhibitors, many of whom have used their art to address issues such as gender equality, immigration rights, reproductive justice, and social justice.
The anniversary art bash was followed by an after-party for VIP guests and artists at the Public Hotel Roof, which kicked off after the exhibition closed and continued until late.
Since its inception, the gallery has featured over 50 exhibitions and presented the work of more than 500 artists—many of whom have used their platforms to inspire and empower others while speaking out against political injustice, inequality, and oppression. UPRISE 2025 continues this legacy, bringing together artists whose work confronts the challenges of today’s social and political landscape and envisions a future rooted in justice, equality, and freedom.
Presented in collaboration with nonprofit initiative Art4Equality, the UPRISE 2025 exhibition celebrates the power of art to inspire resistance, fuel activism, and catalyze change, and will feature works that address the most pressing political, social, and cultural issues of our time. As we continue to face rising political extremism, threats to civil rights, and an increasingly authoritarian climate, UPRISE 2025 provides a platform for artists who use their work to respond, resist, and reclaim their power. With a particular focus on the ongoing struggle for women’s rights, LGBTQ+ rights, immigration rights, and the fight for equality across all races and genders with the attacks against DEI programs, the UPRISE 2025 exhibition is a declaration of resilience in the face of adversity. This powerful exhibition explores how art serves as a vital tool for resistance and activism in the face of the current political climate.
The collaboration with Art4Equality further amplifies the exhibition’s core themes of empowerment, equality, and social change. Together, The Untitled Space and Art4Equality highlight the importance of collective action and creative expression in the ongoing struggle for equality and human rights. Art as activism takes center stage with these critical issues explored through a variety of artistic mediums, including painting, sculpture, photography, video, installation, and performance art, ensuring a multifaceted immersive experience that invites viewers to engage directly with the artwork and the themes of resistance, equality, and freedom.
UPRISE 2025 reflects on the gallery’s decade-long history of showcasing art that challenges societal norms and amplifies voices of resistance. The featured artists have been instrumental in creating a platform for art that speaks to the political, social, and personal struggles of our time through their inspirational and fearless visuals. The exhibition celebrates the gallery’s legacy as a space that has consistently championed activism, diversity, and social change through art.
