Soft Spaces: Evan Paul English and Leasho Johnson
Aug 12, 2026 - Sep 27, 2026
Soft Spaces is a series of installations featuring works by alumni of the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art Fellowship. The “softness” of the title reflects the artists’ experience of queer-centered spaces as providing safety in process, experimentation, and vulnerability.
The exhibitions unfold over time, presenting works spanning digital and media art, painting, photography, filmmaking, performance, and installation by more than three dozen artists. Together, the works respond to the ever-changing landscape of LGBTQIA+ experience, informed by queer and trans histories, liberatory frameworks, and reclamations of identity.
