Lyle Gallery presents Elsewhere, a solo exhibition by Brooklyn-based artist Karina Sharif.

Her work honors Black women, femmes, and nonbinary individuals, exploring themes of self-care, rest, and community. Using paper, ceramic, and steel, Sharif creates sculptures and functional works that celebrate these identities.

Inspired by her healing from MS, the exhibition transforms the gallery into a sanctuary with mossy mounds, glowing lamps, Kindred Black’s scents, and live performances exploring rest as a sacred act.

On View: January 23-March 2, 2025

Opening Reception: January 23, 6-9PM
RSVP

Open Call for NY Design Week Exhibition

We are thrilled to announce an open call for submissions to a collaborative exhibition by Lyle Gallery and Hello Human. The upcoming exhibition celebrates designers who challenge traditional norms and redefine the boundaries of design.

This exhibition invites makers, dreamers, and creators who identify as “outsiders”—those who navigate systemic barriers and forge their own unique paths. Whether you work with experimental materials, self-taught practices, or designs rooted in cultural heritage, we want to see your work.

Exhibition Dates: May 8 - June 1, 2025
Application Closes: January 31, 2025
