FLOURISHING: SOMEHOW WE STAY ATTUNED →

Tangled Art Gallery.
September 12, 2018 by Akin Collective in Exhibitions, Event

FLOURISHING: SOMEHOW WE STAY ATTUNED evokes new dynamics of the disabled experience in its attempts to re-world the narratives of non-normative futures of embodiment. As our world experiences drastic social and ethical changes we find ourselves facing a staggering amount of information. Therefore, we must look to the people who are attuned to these shifts; the artists and activists who represent the worlds in which they exist. Each artist’s lived experiences ground the starting point from which they explore their own interpretation of flourishing.

SOMEHOW WE STAY ATTUNED is an inquiry into the depths of how we navigate our bodies. The three featured artists do not present simple answers but rather, transform the gallery into a forum unfolding debate - within themselves, with each other, and with the audience.
