CIA’s 2025 Alumni Exhibition, Holding Up the Mirror, seeks to explore our present moment and reflects the various ways artists imagine new paths forward for humanity while holding space for truth, change and collective care.

Holding Up the Mirror will be on view from June 20 through August 8 in Reinberger Gallery. An opening reception will be held from 6 to 8pm Friday, June 20.

Writer and curator Maria Seda-Reeder is serving as the 2025 Alumni Exhibition’s visiting Roulet-Hernandez Family Curator. She has organized exhibitions at galleries and museums across the country and previously taught at the Art Academy of Cincinnati and University of Cincinnati.
