Art Exhibit
Liminality: Before, During, After
September 21 – December 9 in Lippitt Hall 3rd and 4th Floor Lobby

Reception: October 1st 5-7 pm

details: When we have transcended our physical beings, what will remain of us as a whole? Will liminal spaces be empty after our time in this universe, or will they hold remnants of our collective dread, anticipation, excitement, and conquests as Homo sapiens? As humans, we exist within a state of established familiarity, yet we are continually drawn to cross the thresholds of the unknown, the unexplained, and the mysterious. Shared emotions, surroundings, accomplishments, yearnings, and rituals have bound us together in a phase of being that, though rapidly evolving, has also revealed itself as a cycle of limitation within our ever-expanding history.

The University of Rhode Island’s Department of Art and Art History presents Liminality: Before, During, After, an exhibition for the Fall 2026 Honors Colloquium: INTERSTELLAR EXPLORATION: Journey Beyond Your Limits” by visualizing humanity’s future in the stars, that brings together the experiences and perspectives of multiple artists. Through a visual display of multimedia works, the exhibit delves into the ambiguous nature of human existence and the spaces we occupy before, during, and after transformation.
