de montañas submarinas el fuego hace islas from the underwater mountains fire makes islands

KADIST San Francisco presents de montañas submarinas el fuego hace islas [from the underwater mountains fire makes islands] by guest curator Yina Jiménez Suriel, October 13, 2023 - February 17, 2024. The exhibition explores the concept of freedom through sensory experiences, alternate and altered realities, and interspecies relationships between human and non-human. Featuring 12 local and international artists and collectives, the exhibition unfolds over three rotations, each with overlapping and new artworks, asking the question: how does art affect our bodies and perception and contribute to and alter our future? Through constellations of artworks installed in constant movement, Dominican Republic-based guest curator Yina Jiménez Suriel investigates the idea of freedom inspired by the tools and knowledge from communities that have desired liberation from the Western imagination.
