The Lives We Never Lived

The Lives We Never Lived is a group exhibition presented in Touchstone Gallery's Summer Project Gallery, curated by Touchstone intern Skylar Ogunshakin-White. The show explores alternative pasts, presents, and futures through themes of memory, connection, and self-perception, asking viewers to consider how the choices we make—and those we do not—shape the people we become. Blending culture and history with possibility, the exhibition reflects on the many facets of human experience and the countless paths that define identity, inviting visitors to look at life through a different lens.
