An exhibition exploring the intersection of imagination and emancipation.
Delfina Foundation alum curator Yina Jiménez Suriel brings together work by five artists – Adjoa Armah, biarritzzz, Vitória Cribb, Duto Hardono, and Thaís Espaillat Ureña – in an articulation of her long-term and multi-format investigation into the expansion of imaginaries.
Yina’s research posits that across history, communities around the globe have sought to expand the human perceptual system in the pursuit of emancipatory imaginaries, employing various – and often common – aesthetic tools and strategies.
Her project seeks to trace the presence of such tools and strategies within contemporary practices, considering their effect on our bodies and on our ideas of what is possible. Among the tools she has identified to date are repetition, fugue, and transmutation – which form the focus of this show.
