Nathan Kemler, GVSU director of Galleries and Collections, described this exhibition:
"'A Single Thread'" opens a door for us into the diverse experiences of our Latinx community. Being Latinx is not a singular experience. Our hope is that this exhibition aids us in unpacking our relationships with race, immigration systems and shifting demographics. Being Latinx is an ever-changing narrative amid a larger cultural reckoning. Therefore, the artwork in this exhibition tells a wide-ranging story, including Indigenous histories, hip-hop culture, immigration stories, queer community, agriculture, climate change, disability, identity, trauma and racism in sports."
