AUTOPOIESIS: Recognizing Kin Across Antipodal Topologies

inspired by Jamaican writer and cultural theorist Sylvia Wynter, AUTOPOIESIS: Recognizing Kin Across Antipodal Topologies explores the nuances of autobiographical art practices with roots in the antipodal topologies of South Asia, Central America and the Caribbean. Manifesting via expanded exhibitionary form in Berlin, Kassel, Mexico City, Guatemala City, New Delhi, and other sites between Aug - Dec 2022, the project aims to look beyond abstract notions of solidarity, proposing an experiment with auto-narration towards developing deeper kinships through the recognition of specific embodied positionalities.

Curated by Shaunak Mahbubani with curatorial advice from Vidisha-Fadescha, Eli Moon, and Madhumita Nandi, the exhibition features works by Andrew Ananda Voogel in Khirkee Voice, Christopher Udemezue, Dhrubo Jyoti, Elyla, Jesús Hilario-Reyes, Prabhakar Pachpute, Rajyashri Goody and Subas Tamang.

AUTOPOIESIS will be open Tuesdays through Saturdays from noon to 7pm. Admission is free.
