We have to embrace the potential for resistance to all forms for environmental justice and propose an interconnected approach between visual arts and the newly opened eco-political spaces that are challenging the trinomy of Capitalism, Patriarchy and Colonialism. This exhibition is conceived as the second part of a broader project, which had the first phase in the Museum of Contemporary Art in Belgrade (MoCAB), after three-year-long research. Under the title Overview Effect, it was referring to the concept coined by Frank White, that described the cognitive shift reported by a number of astronauts having looked back from Space to Earth. We took it as a metaphor to show the encompassing view needed to understand all aspects of the global eco-social crisis in a moment where we are surpassing the biocapacity of the Earth. In this second part, the new exhibition at CAAM, titled in Spanish Con los pies en la Tierra we decided to shift the focus “down to earth”, with an earthbound approach to the environmental issues, showing how this “all the way around” position brings us, at the end of the day, to the same views of interconnectedness and ecodependency. Moreover, we have to consider that the word tierra is a homonym in the Spanish language, meaning both the planet Earth and the soil. The “mirroring” of these two perspectives would give deeper insight and tackle the discourse of environmental justice, as a result of a large project that involved a series of workshops, lectures, panel discussions, encounters with activists, and theoretical events.

Wildriana Paulino (b.1999) was born in San Francisco de Macorís, Dominican Republic. She is currently residing in New York City, where she recently received her BFA form the School of Art at The Cooper Union. Her research on femicide -the killing of women for the condition of being women- has led her to work with themes of femininity, violence, trauma, and alienation. Wildriana’s interest in the female experience stems from her own experience growing up in the Dominican Republic, where she grew up in a house with only women, no men. Growing up in a matriarchal household was then contrasted with the way female life is treated in the country. Femicide is a normalized crime in the Dominican Republic and little to no justice is done for the victims. After being exposed to this kind of violence, Wildriana began to relate the female body with earth itself. In this way, given the female experience the autonomy that is stripped away through femicide. To represent such accounts, she utilizes printmaking, painting, drawing, photography, and installation.

EXODUS VIII: Off the Cloth Curated by: Karen Cordero Reiman and Juan Puntes March 25 – May 4, March 25 Installation premiere starts April 1. Opening Reception. Panel Discussion and Performances 5 to 8 pm Off the Cloth, curated by Juan Puntes and Karen Cordero Reiman, inaugurates the new downtown location of Whitebox. The exhibit forms a part of Whitebox’s ongoing “Exodus” series highlighting the work of émigré artists living and working in New York City. The show will present an intergenerational dialogue between thirteen women artists whose work refers to their transcultural heritage through the use of or reference to textiles as material and metaphor, and will have a six-week run from the end of March through mid-May 2022. The goal of the exhibit is to establish a sense of communion between the artists’ practice and the audience’s sense of identity, as a consequence of shared cultural, gender-bound or social experiences. Off the Cloth will also include panel discussions with the artists, performances and other activities that will contribute to an active interchange with the community. These artists use aesthetics as the ultimate weapon of political resistance in the face of a fragile and tumultuous world, stitching together our differences. In their work, textiles, combined with other disciplines and media, become a vehicle or reference point for exuberant narratives. The selection highlights the diversity of the participants’ cultural and ethnic backgrounds, and engages in and broadens the timeless dialogue between craft and art. Women’s artistic deployment of skills such as sewing, knitting, and weaving, that are traditionally relegated to the status of domestic craft and separated from “high art”, are celebrated and embraced here without condition. The exhibit will also generate spaces and a variety of instances for multi-directional conversations between the participants and with the curators and other interlocutors, in order to enrich and expand the dialogue generated by the show. Participating Artists: Shiva Lynn Burgos | Jodie Lyn-Kee-Chow | Blanka Amezkua | Christine David | Isolde Kille | Sandra Eula Lee | Simonetta Moro | Qinza Najm | Aurora Pellizzi | Eva Petric | Yohanna Roa | Amanda Valdez | Lilia Ziamou WhiteBox established as the first alternative, internationalist art space in nascent Chelsea September 1998 on west 26th street. 1998-2008 Chelsea 2008-2018 LES 2018-2221 East Harlem 2022 - 2033 Alphabet City
