Sovern, with support from Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs, Presents
Navigating the Heart in 2025
A multimedia exhibition curated by Rosalyn Myles
featuring Calethia DeConto, Leslie Foster, Rosalyn Myles, and Ana Rodriguez
This exhibition celebrates diverse expressions of love, self-acceptance, and the impacts of modern technology and social media on our perceptions of romance.
Our hope is to spark conversations about love, connection, and our current epidemic of loneliness. We invite the community to witness, investigate and embrace a more expansive appreciation of our human connections. This thought-provoking exhibit also addresses the essential theme of self-love and encourages visitors to reflect on their own definitions of romance and relationships. Navigating the Heart is an opportunity to engage with issues of over-connectedness while celebrating the excitement and mystery associated with love in all its forms.
