a solo exhibition by FAITH McCorkle

"won't you celebrate with me what i have shaped into a kind of life? i had no model. born in babylon both nonwhite and woman, what did i see to be except myself? i made it up. here on this bridge between starshine and clay, my one hand holding tight my other hand; come celebrate with me that everyday something has tried to kill me and has failed." - Lucille Clifton

HAVE FAITH solo exhibition trailer by FAITH McCorkle

We live many lives in one lifetime. Spirit and faith keep us breathing and moving: they tell us to rebuild after breaking down. HAVE FAITH is an innovative solo exhibition inviting viewers on a journey into the depths of faith by exploring its intricate, layered connections to life, death, and personal power. Through a network of immersive soundscapes, interactive installations, reflective poetry, and symbolic visuals, this exhibition experience and its public programming evoke a sense of rebirth and spiritual awakening while reflecting on the past lives we carry within us.

HAVE FAITH seeks to recontextualize the concept of faith by emphasizing its role as a transformative force in our lives. FAITH McCorkle, the vessel channeling this experience, alchemizes pain into power, manifesting an ethereal and omnipresent world that immerses viewers across timelines.

This exhibition serves as a sacred, safe space to share testaments of resilience. Visitors are invited to rediscover their personal power, release the weight of past lives, and embrace rebirth. By exploring the profound connections between life, death, and spiritual rituals, HAVE FAITH ignites a renewed understanding of faith’s enduring significance in our waking existence.
