Regimes of Truth: Art, Power, and the Making of Reality

to Sep 28

Regimes of Truth: Art, Power, and the Making of Reality

Two of my pieces from “The Shameless Portrait Project” are part of this artists member group show.

Regimes of Truth explores how art interrogates the systems that shape our understanding of reality. Drawing on Michel Foucault’s idea that each society produces its own “regime of truth,” the exhibition examines how power, discourse, and institutions determine what is accepted as true. The featured artists critique dominant narratives, uncover suppressed perspectives, and engage with the contexts, such as galleries, schools, and archives, where truth is produced. Rather than reflecting reality, their work actively reshapes it, making the invisible visible and the familiar strange. At a time of contested realities, the exhibition asks: How can art challenge what we take for granted and open space for resistance, imagination, and transformation?

  • “THE GUEST ROOM” is an intimate photography project exploring the emotional depth of a transient space through natural light portraits within my home’s guest room. The series examines the duality of identity within these walls—where one can rest, dream, and reinvent oneself. The images portray both physical presence and emotional journeys—finding, losing, and transforming oneself, and daring to envision future selves. Reimagining it through this small-scale installation that evokes a guest room, this series of portraits deconstructs the experience of inhabiting a home space. “The Guest Room,” was part of “Inhabiting Space: Presence, Purpose, and Possibility” at TAG The Art Gallery.

  • An artistic exploration where imagination rules; featured mixed media (photographic print and watercolor) pieces at TAG The Art Gallery, Boston.

  • A collaborative exhibition featuring 53 Word Artists responding to 61 works by 47 Image Artists, curated for display both at the Menino Arts Center, Boston, and in a virtual 3D gallery.
