EBONY/CURATED is delighted to present Journey Mercies, a group exhibition of twelve artists. While previous generations focused on direct confrontation, Journey Mercies emphasises the significance of rest, joy, and self-reflection as acts of resistance. This shift prioritises mental well-being, the reclamation of agency, and the restoration of the self, in a world that has long sought to diminish it.

Rather than simply aligning with personal wellness, this exhibition advocates for a collective healing process that embraces resilience, self-compassion, and a renewed commitment to community.“Journey Mercies is a prayer for guidance and safety throughout life’s transitions." writes Misha Krynauw. "A moment to reclaim our lost humanity in demanding that we now stand by it. The exhibition is an invitation through which the artists reflect on the evolution of resistance toward our ideas of freedom. From the bare struggle for survival, to authentic explorations of self-care and self-affirmation as acts of revolution. And, further still, to liberating acts of joy and wonder. From works such as Adrian Fortuin’s 'Where Are They Going?', 2024, to 'Rain or Shine', 2025, from Bahati Simoens, the exhibition envelops the multiplicity of emotion, reflection in the aftermath that is our present tense."
