"let it be known" was conceived to celebrate and honor the enduring impact of black artistry on global and cultural consciousness. The exhibition served as both recognition and celebration of the brilliance, resilience, and depth of black creative expression across disciplines.curated with intentionality, the exhibition design employed expansive white space as a symbolic and literal canvas, amplifying each artist's presence and highlighting the power of their work. The show featured a diverse roster of world-renowned and local artists including rob lewis, christine miller, barry johnson, mikey coleman, milan davis, james bullock, naomi likayi, nia musiba, and paola de la cruz.through this exhibition, industry one foundation provided a public platform for dialogue, connection, and reflectionunderscoring its mission to elevate underrepresented voices and foster cultural exchange through art.
In collaboration with multidisciplinary artist georgina trevino, industry one foundation presented "artefactos alterados", an exhibition that examined the transformation of found materials into new forms of meaning and beauty. The collection blended anthropology, craftsmanship, and conceptual artpositioning trevino's creations as both cultural artifacts and contemporary statements. Each piece embodied the artist's exploration of identity, sustainability, and creative reuse.to extend the exhibition's educational impact, industry one hosted two hands-on community workshops led by trevino.the first workshop invited 18 participants to design and create custom jewelry and accessories using small-batch materials and found objects provided by the artist.the second workshop engaged 12 participants in customizing a pair of converse shoes, integrating trevino's distinctive found objects and jewelry elements to encourage self-expression through wearable art. These workshops offered participants an immersive learning experience and reinforced industry one foundation's mission to foster creativity, collaboration, and accessibility within the arts community.
