The retro, up-cycled couch in the gallery was found in the corner of a thrift shop. Like the vulnerable, overlooked and disenfranchised people welcomed into Metro Community, the red couch is slightly tattered, and imperfectly beautiful, according to the Metro Community. The red couch is a symbol of home and radical welcome, which is the heart of Metro Community and the art space.
