Community Gallery: Carrie Rosario
“What the Eyes Don't See", Featuring the Photography of Carrie Rosario
Was Our First Community Gallery Artist Exhibition, November & December 2025
Exhibit: “What the Eyes Don’t See: Bearing Witness to the Lives of Black Male Caregivers”
More than 63 million people in the U.S. provide care for someone they love. Yet, the family caregiver is often unseen, their stories go untold, and their faces rarely remembered. What the Eyes Don’t See shifts the gaze to honor the fullness of their humanity—not just the care they give, but who they are. Rooted in my father’s quiet caregiving example, this photography exhibit reminds us that those who hold others up also need to be seen, heard, and cherished. What the Eyes Don’t See, which honors the lives of Black male caregivers, is part of The Caregiver Visibility Project—a broader practice to raise awareness of this hidden labor force. Influenced by storytelling artists like Gordon Parks, Romare Bearden, and Jean-Michel Basquiat, the work reclaims visibility as an act of love and a way of saying you matter.
Artist: Carrie Rosario is a North Carolina–based artist, and Creative Greensboro partner, whose work centers the beauty found in ordinary moments. Through her creative studio, Bella Grace Designs, she integrates poetry and photography to create immersive, interactive storytelling experiences that invite reflection, presence, and healing.
Her work spans both landscape and portrait photography and is rooted in the belief that art can help people see themselves and the world around them more deeply. Rosario’s previous exhibit Reclaiming Peace explored mental health and restoration, and The Poetry of Place: the Power of Color was a reflection on belonging and the emotional landscapes that tie people to place.
