RE-HOMING INSTINCTS
Curated by Frida Cano
April 22–June 17, 2023
18th Street Arts Center
Santa Monica
Amanda Maciel Antunes and Linn collaborated on a new work: Beautiful Necessity for a site responsive project incorporating sculpture, video, and performance in an interactive setting, part of Re-Homing Instincts, curated by Frida Cano.
From the curatorial statement: The exhibition Re-Homing Instincts explores how artists become not only participants in modes of living in this place but also storytellers. Through a selection of contemporary immigrant and first-generation women artists who have strong roots in LA, the exhibition addresses how they traditionally heal their bodies by eating the geosphere itself, the emotional scars that are left after leaving one’s land of origin (Diaspora), and the mode in which immigrants find a new home when connecting with new people in these new places.
The exhibition features the work of: Amanda Maciel Antunes, Galia Linn, Maria Adela Diaz, Labkhand Olfatmanesh, Gazelle Samizay, Iman Person.
