Artist Tatana Kellner announces an opening reception for her exhibition "Inequity" at The Sketchbook Gallery @ Jane St. Art Center in Saugerties, New York, running from June 27 to August 1, 2026. The show features works from her ongoing series "Apart," which explores tensions between individuals and societal systems, drawing on her personal history as an immigrant from communist Czechoslovakia and a child of Holocaust survivors.
The exhibition matters because it addresses urgent global themes—totalitarianism, injustice, and the human cost of geopolitical conflict—through a deeply personal lens. Kellner's work offers a model of artistic resistance that transforms helplessness into resonant expression, emphasizing how art and joy can serve as meaningful modes of political and emotional response in troubled times.
