Opening Reception of No Longer Prey: Kara Zuzu

Join us for the opening reception of No Longer Prey: Kara Zuzu!

Imagine standing in a room filled entirely with rabbits—one hundred of them, each staring back at you. The space tightens. Movement slows. A quiet unease settles in.

Rabbits, often understood as symbols of vulnerability and prey, appear here transformed. Through scale, repetition, and density, individual figures merge into a collective presence—no longer passive, but quietly confrontational.

As viewers move through the installation, familiar power dynamics begin to shift. The body becomes acutely aware of itself in space: watched, measured, implicated. The assumed position of power and control begins to erode. The familiar hierarchy between viewer and subject dissolves, replaced by a quiet, persistent tension. This work transforms fragility into force. It considers how power is constructed, how it is felt, and what happens when it is redistributed across a collective body. Rooted in personal experience, the installation moves toward a reclamation of agency—where vulnerability is no longer a condition of weakness, but a site of resistance.

The reception is free and open to the public, light refreshments will be served. Artist Kara Zuzu has partnered with Trace Brewing to create a special signature beer that will be served at the event.

No Longer Prey is on view in Contemporary Craft's David Zeve Gallery for Regional Artists from November 20, 2026 - February 27, 2027. Our galleries are open Monday – Saturday and admission is always free.
