In Thirds

Debut solo exhibition by Danielle Myers

Opening: April 15, 2026 (6pm-9pm) - 7pm Performance, 8pm Artist Talk Moderated by Arianella Myers

On view through May 1, 2026

Free & Open to the public

On April 15, The Forge Nashville will open In Thirds, the debut solo exhibition by artist Danielle Myers. Structured as a three-act experience, the exhibition invites viewers into an intimate and expansive meditation on the ways trauma reverberates across time, relationships, and the self.

In Thirds is a deeply personal, multilayered exhibition composed in three acts that explores how trauma spreads beyond the original occurrence and can stain future moments of life. From the loss of innocence to the road to recovery and healing, how we’ve been dealt with bleeds into how we deal with others.

Delving into layered and looped timelines, blooming from pain, and homage to history, Danielle Myers works in the medium of vulnerability in her first-ever solo exhibition.

Through immersive visual language and emotional excavation, Myers traces the cyclical nature of experience: how memory, rupture, and repair coexist. The exhibition unfolds as both a narrative and an environment, encouraging viewers to move through distinct yet interconnected phases that mirror the nonlinear process of healing.

In Thirds marks a significant milestone for Myers, whose practice centers on emotional honesty and embodied storytelling. Her work offers a space for reflection and recognition, holding tension between fragility and resilience while honoring the complexity of lived experience.

Disclaimer: This exhibition may not be suitable for small children; themes and language around sexual trauma and abuse are explored in the works and performances.

BURY ME DEEP
Special Preview: March 13th, 6-9pm

Open Reception: March 19th, 6-9pm

On view through April 4th, 2026

The Forge Nashville presents Bury Me Deep, a new exhibition by Senegalese-American artist Mouminatou Thiaw, on view March 13 through April 4, 2026. Through an impressionistic series of works, Thiaw expresses a somatic ecosystem of the earth, body and spirit, employing bold, contrasting colors and organic forms to explore emotional coexistence, healing, and interconnection.

The exhibition features acrylic painting, clay sculpture and block print, centering on vivid chromatic tensions that evoke the layered emotional states held within the body. Throughout the work, organ-like forms emerge as mystical and visceral sites of knowledge, suggesting the body as an intuitive, interconnected system. The resulting visual language invites viewers into a contemplative space where sensation, memory, and embodiment converge.

The title piece, Bury Me Deep, envisions a metaphysical space of deep hibernation, where reflection, grief, imagination, and digestion of experience are generative. The stitched edge that appears across the collection is a symbolically repairative act of the artist to mend what was cut. The red thread suggests healing, forgiveness, repair where there was rupture. It plays within the artist’s broader inquiries into strength through transformation, and where human touch can be symbiotic not only destructive.

Thiaw’s handling of clay and fossil-like forms similarly emphasizes gentle intervention, using a touch that favors care, preservation, and slow transformation and often keeping the natural pigment of the clays.

See you at the show!
