Only If We Wish To brings together 15 artists of various backgrounds united by works that decontextualize and undress the layered complexities that center around forms, systems, bodies, freedom, and communal empathy.

Only If We Wish To is team-curated by the NYAE Spring 2021 curatorial residents: Shane Allen, Cecilia André, Hadass Backman, Shwarga Bhattacharjee, Gosha Karpowicz,  A. Morgan McKendry, and Alison Pirie,
led by Hayley Ferber and Luciana Solano.

Artists included in the exhibition: Nir Arieli, Adalgisa Campos, Lucille Colin, Anna Cone, Máiréad Delaney, Jen Dwyer, Avihay “Bichof” Edry, Ahmed Kishore, Dawn Kramlich, Jessica Matier, Yeji Moon, Kris Rac, Diana Schmertz, Natacha Voliakovsky, and Rachael Wren.
