Created in fascist times, I Got U centers common ground as a means of survival. The multimedia artworks pair intuitive words—subtle reminders and affirmations—with figures moving and dancing, embodying togetherness as action rather than abstraction. Through collaboration, motion, and care, the work offers connection as both resistance and refuge, insisting that mental health is a lived practice.

All artwork was made collaboratively by Sharon Leshner and Ryan Murray. This exhibit was on view at the Northampton Center for the Arts in March 2026. Photos by Ray Brod.
