WNDR Museum, San Diego’s immersive art and technology experience, has partnered with designer, educator and entrepreneur, Jason Mayden to present a digital version of his Boys Break Too exhibition across its three locations.

The exhibition will kick off with an interactive conversation with Mayden at WNDR Museum’s San Diego location on Wednesday, October 25 at 12PM. Tickets are free and available now here. Mayden’s digital works will be on view at WNDR San Diego through the end of October.

Jason Mayden presents Boys Break Too Exhibition

Boys Break Too is an art exhibition featuring seven original pieces, digital collectibles and commemorative merchandise exploring intergenerational trauma and the emotional suppression that Black male masculinity faces as a means of survival. The goal of the exhibition is to spark constructive conversations that promote collective healing and raise awareness about mental health resources.

“One of our key pillars at WNDR Museum is the promotion of mental health awareness and resources, so this exhibition and partnership could not have come more naturally,” said David Allen, Creative Director at WNDR Studios.

“We’re incredibly grateful to have the opportunity to shine a spotlight on the mental health issues facing young people today, and our sincerest hope is that we play a meaningful part in reshaping the conversation around these issues and offer an opportunity for collective growth and healing through art.”

“Through the intersection of design and empathy, we embark on a mission to transcend the silent struggles men endure. Tackling anxiety and intergenerational trauma is no solitary journey; it is a collective, courageous conversation where healing transpires through the therapeutic brushstrokes of art,” said Mayden.

“Our work is dedicated to crafting spaces where men can unapologetically express, explore, and ultimately, liberate themselves from the hidden pains, constructing a future where vulnerability becomes our collective strength.”
