The College of New Jersey Art Gallery is inviting the public to imagine a world free from gun violence through its latest exhibition, Futures Without Guns.
Curated by Angela McQuillan, the multimedia exhibition brings together the work of nine artists who were asked to envision the possibilities of a future without firearms.
The show, which runs through Oct. 19, was first presented at the University City Science Center in Philadelphia.
The artists – Heather Dewey-Hagborg, Lynn Hershman, Natalie Hijinx, Jasmine Murrell, Wi-Moto Nyoka, Mikael Owunna, Tim Portlock, and Rachel Reyes-Vasquez – use speculative design and futures thinking to explore perspectives on gun violence and health inequity.
Their work highlights the potential of art as a force for social change.
Beyond showcasing artwork, the exhibition underscores the gallery’s role in engaging the community with thought-provoking ideas.
Located on the first floor of the Art & Interactive Multimedia Building, the TCNJ Art Gallery offers free admission to the public.
Through exhibitions, artist talks, and educational programs, the gallery aims to foster dialogue and provide a space for the central New Jersey community to explore diverse cultures and perspectives.
