_YCNI V__ _shines a light on the cultural, artistic, social and
political transformations initiated by the creative and curatorial
practices by those identifying as woman, Black, POC, LGBTQ+ and
gender-nonconforming. With a sense of urgency and relevancy, each
multifaceted micro-exhibition will transform a 256 square-foot hotel
room into an immersive installation, fostering provocative discussions
on the most pressing issues of our time.__
Identity, the body and the environment are key components in many of
the works, all of which explore varying socio-personal themes,
including colonialism, consumerism, sexism, gender, gentrification,
gun violence, politics and relationships. By examining societal
traditions and the impact of the digital world and social media, these
exhibitions question and subvert our social norms. They also shed
light on how the erasure and reconstruction of the past has shaped our
present and is molding our future. Individual experience and one’s
unique orientation to cultural and ideological developments have the
power to transform perspectives— for better and for worse. Space is
also a factor; the exhibition centers viewpoints of how we create,
hold on to and enforce our boundaries— both internally and in the
physical world. From painting, performance and sculpture to
multimedia, experiential/ephemeral, and site-specific installations,
artists and curators from multicultural backgrounds share their
expansive, divergent insights of our current world.
