(Sub)surface showcased the work of thirteen members of the Detroit art & design community, with a focus on placing pieces to ensure access for individuals who are visually impaired. All works within the exhibition were accessible through a variety of senses and at least two different stimuli. At the show, the public were allowed to physically engage with all pieces. Other senses, such as auditory and smell, will also be used.

Exhibiting Artists: Tony Whlgn, April Smith, Jason Johnson, Mary Ceimerych, Dr. Shawn Forman, Roxy Eaton, Erin Palmore, Rachel Banks, Rae Dobbins, Simon Anton, Miriam Uhura, Ashanti Africana, and Deja Jones.

Exhibition curated by Asia Dobbins presented at the Swords into Plowshares Peace Center Gallery.
