#FirstFriday: November Exhibitions

Every month, we highlight exhibitions, events, and workshops that feature WSW alumnx artists. We share the shows near and far that make up our monthly must-see list.

New York

October 17 – November 30: See work by Paria Ahmadi (Art-in-Ed Workspace Residency, 2025), Kyung Eun You (Art-in-Ed Workspace Residency, 2018, Artist’s Book Residency Grant, 2019), Ashley Page (Studio Residency Grant, 2025), and Golnar Adili (Studio Residency Grant, 2015, Artist’s Book Residency Grant ,2021) at All Street Gallery for the show Here and Elsewhere. “Here & Elsewhere presents printmaking as both a reproductive and transformative act. By foregrounding women artists, those often positioned as reproducers of both familial and cultural lineage, this exhibition expands printmaking into a language of survival and regeneration. Across varied approaches, from book arts and embroidery to silkscreen, lithography, photography, and installation, each work is marked by meticulous craft and profound emotional charge.”
