Aftermath: Portraits and Reflections of Veterans in Recovery

January 7–April 29

Photographs by Deborah Bai-Lannon, created between 2020 and 2024 during Respite Weekends with the Home Base Veterans and Family Program. Set at Harvard University’s Equestrian Center in Hamilton, Massachusetts, the work captures quiet moments of presence and connection among veterans living with PTSD.

Through portraiture and personal reflections, the exhibition presents recovery as an ongoing journey shaped by environment, care, and human connection, inviting viewers to look beyond stereotypes and recognize the enduring possibility of resilience and hope.

"Between Worlds" by Sebastian Ebarb

January 18—March 16

Our 2025–26 Mudge Fellow is Sebastian Ebarb. His work explores the duality of creative practice—the distinction between working as an artist and as a designer. As an artist, he speaks freely, engaging with Native culture, personal history, and the stories he carries. As a designer, he navigates structure, client expectations, and the ethical considerations of working within and beyond his own communities. Through this exhibition, Ebarb invites viewers to reflect on how identity shifts depending on who is watching, what is required, and the responsibilities we hold—to ourselves, to culture, and to our audience.
