Journal: 'Downside Up' at Johnson & Johnson: Thumbnail
Uprise Art curates an exhibition for the Johnson & Johnson headquarters that highlights their passion for process and community. In Downside Up, artists Kristin Texeira and Chad Kouri reflect on the role dyslexia has played in their creative practices. Throughout their careers, both artists have changed the narrative, turning the so-called “affliction” into creative fuel. Each describes their artistic journey as one of turning a potential negative into a positive, of framing their unique perspective as a strength rather than weakness.

Kouri’s works similarly investigate memory and recall by utilizing the artist’s stored base of visual information to create abstracted forms that reveal a shared experience that unite our unique experiences of the world.
