The exhibition delivers collectively works by Noor Abed, Morehshin Allahyari, Castiel Vitorino Brasileiro, Sara Haq, Junghun Kim, Carolyn Lazard, Sabelo Mlangeni, Jota Mombaça, Avery Z. Nelson, Temitayo Ogunbiyi, and a newly commissioned examining space introduced by Up to date And (C&).
Leveraging the questions posed and actions adopted by Black females artists and feminists, as properly as techniques linked to Black radical concept, the curators confront and picture the prospects to reconnect, re-narrate, and regenerate ourselves with the bodily and digital areas we occupy. The exhibition sites the work and theories of Black radical praxis in the context of Hong Kong, elaborating on their implications and parallels close to the world and inspecting concerns of basic safety and retreat as generative modes of engagement, safety, and survival. In the confront of a world-wide pandemic and uprisings all around the environment associated to racial inequalities, political violence, and ecological disaster, the exhibition emerges as an ongoing inquiry by the curators into the several impediments we encounter nowadays, not only in connecting with a single another, but also in suggesting a floor for potential engagement and solidarity: what transpires in this in-amongst point out, which we now come across ourselves in, and what takes place at this stage of assembly during overlapping and ongoing durations of embattlement?
The exhibition is component of a greater, ongoing investigation venture and collaboration in between Masilela and de Paula Souza, which revolves close to the concern posed by the American poet-activist Audre Lorde: “How do we master to love each and every other while we are embattled on so lots of fronts?” The exhibition title normally takes the kind of the conjunctive clause to this overarching query, current inside of an intermediate condition of currently being, which is reflected in the exhibition style and design Human Architects. Shifting in between generative and chaotic states, the exhibition provides a risk for alignment by way of the convening of 10 worldwide artists and practitioners in conjunction with a reading room recently produced for Para Web site in collaboration with the C& Heart of Unfinished Enterprise and Asia Artwork Archive and other regional collaborators. The exhibition engages the viewers in the politics of passion, reminding us of the options to arrive together to uncover and launch latent powers and tensions throughout determined circumstances.
