  • Diasporic Futurism

    Two of my paintings will be part of an exhibit titled “Diasporic Futurism“ at Root Division. This online exhibition features 18 artists who are interrogating the definition of futurism as it relates to diasporic peoples’ movement throughout their politicized histories. Exhibiting artists will address the inherent questions of identity politics with work that explores belonging, family, the body, and sex. Each artist will explore futurism as it relates to their personal history within and beyond forced diasporas using science fiction/fantasy, visual design, comics, immersive sound, textile, and video.

    Exhibition Dates: Jul 9, 2020 to Aug 8, 2020 at https://rootdivision.org/exhibition-rd-gallery/diasporic-futurism
