Transformer gallery debuts new installation, prepares for Nov. 21 gala

In this complex world, we look to art and artists to help us navigate, challenge, and shape our city, society, the world, and ultimately, ourselves. Here in D.C., Transformer — an artist-centered visual arts non-profit — has taken on that responsibility with panache, performance, and people. Transformer was founded in 2002 by artists and arts organizers to support underserved emerging visual artists and grow audiences with experimental visual arts practices. Transformer has occupied its gallery at 1404 P St., N.W. throughout its nearly 25-year history. The space is small and can be easy to miss — even those who have lived in the neighborhood for years sometimes discover its programming only after walking past many times. Yet its cultural footprint is much larger than the gallery space size.
