ABOUT

Artist Sable Elyse Smith and Shaun Leonardo will present a participatory performance and lecture, in conjunction with the exhibition Inherited.

This work will be derived from each artist's interest in portraiture—rendering imagery with the body.

In response to contemporary narratives of police brutality, the performance will be enacted in the bodies of the spectator, rendering experiences foreign or abstract to some, more visceral and hyper-present. While Leonardo explodes preconceived notions of identity enacted through ritual and media; Smith undermines them through intimate renders of stark narratives both elusive and forcefully present. Please join both artists for a participatory performance followed by a moderated talk.
