About the 1960s
The 1960s was a decade of cultural revolution and social awakening. In this Exhibition, artists respond to the era’s defining themes—civil rights, the counterculture, the rise of feminism, youth rebellion, the space race, musical innovation, and personal memory—through a wide range of mediums and styles. It’s a powerful tribute to the ideas, dreams, and struggles that still shape us today.
