Gabriel García Márquez opined that reality exists at the intersection of the external world and our perception of it. But when those perceptions are disrupted, what remains?
This exhibition brings together 12 Philadelphia-based artists to explore what defines shared reality in an era of shifting historical narratives, eroding facts, and silenced identities.
Shifting Realities highlights a diverse group of artists whose practices confront today’s political polarization and uncertainty. Through their work, they navigate the tension between instability and resilience, seeking ways to reclaim meaning, connection, and place in a world in flux.
About Doris Nogueira-Rogers
Born in 1951 in Petropolis, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. She attended the School of Fine Arts, Federal University, Rio (BFA 1973), where I earned a degree in Art and Design and Interior Design. Doris has made her home in Philadelphia and then Woodbury, NJ, since 1978.
Her creative journey embodies recurrent themes—nature and the environment—explored in different mediums and techniques. It ranges from works on paper or canvas to site-specific installations related to contemporary issues. Doris’ visual discourse is manifested in Neo-abstract compositions rendered in a spectrum of rich colors and shapes that the artist reconfigures. Often, the lines, shapes, and textures also bear deeper meanings. For instance, her work’s leaf and pod-like designs allude to the constant destruction of tropical forests.
Her professional experience includes national and international exhibitions and Art Education through museums, art centers, libraries, and schools.
