Family Business: An Exhibition by the 2024-2025 WaterFire Accelerate Cohort

Five emerging artists—Elizabeth Alice-Isam Jweinat (Lizzy Sour), Dorian Epps, Caterina Maina, Sissy Rosso, and Ariel Tavares—present 'Family Business,' a group exhibition at the WaterFire Arts Center in Providence, Rhode Island, running through October 19, 2025. The show transforms the gallery into a reimagined household, with each artist creating an immersive room exploring themes of memory, lineage, domesticity, and inherited experience through installation, photography, collage, sculpture, and multimedia. The exhibition is the culmination of the 2024-2025 WaterFire Accelerate program, a year-long professional development initiative for artists under 30.
