Voices in Form
Personal, political, or social narratives expressed through sculpture
Exhibition Dates: October 1 – November 12, 2026
About the Exhibit:
The Indiana University Kokomo Art Gallery is hosting a special juried exhibition, Voices in Form, which features work by artist members of the Chicago Sculpture International group.
Voices in Form invites sculptors to explore how three-dimensional works can carry, amplify, and embody personal, political, and social narratives. This exhibition seeks sculpture that functions as a form of visual language—expressing lived experience, cultural memory, identity, resistance, or reflection through material, process, and form. Artists are encouraged to consider how their work “speaks” in space, whether through symbolic imagery, abstract gesture, or the physical presence of the object itself. Submissions may address contemporary issues, historical perspectives, or deeply personal stories that resonate beyond the individual. All sculptural approaches and materials are welcome, including traditional, experimental, and mixed-media works. Voices in Form aims to create a compelling dialogue between diverse sculptural voices and the communities they engage. .
