de monta帽as submarinas el fuego hace islas [from the underwater mountains fire makes islands]
de monta帽as submarinas el fuego hace islas [from the underwater mountains fire makes islands], guest curated by Yina Jim茅nez Suriel, explores the concept of freedom through sensory experiences, alternate and altered realities, and interspecies relationships between human and non-human entities. Featuring over a dozen local and international artists and collectives鈥攖he majority of which were culled from the KADIST collection鈥攖he exhibition unfolds over three rotations, drawing from the emancipatory potential of repetition and poses the question: how does art affect our bodies and perception, and how does it contribute to and alter our future? Through an exhibitionary strategy which rehangs and repositions artworks across space and time, Jim茅nez Suriel investigates the concept of freedom as inspired by the tools and knowledge gained from communities desiring liberation from the Western imagination.
A bi-lingual reader, co-published with Sming Sming Books, with the support of the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies, University of California, Berkeley will be available in February 2024. It will also be released digitally in three parts alongside each exhibition rotation and available for download.
The exhibition is the outcome of an ongoing research project that Jim茅nez Suriel began in 2019 and follows its first iteration in partnership with Piv么, S茫o Paulo (2021). It was supported by residencies at Piv么 and KADIST San Francisco. In January 2024, the exhibition will travel to Delfina Foundation, London.
