THE ALIENS AREN’T COMING

*

As we face the array of crises taking hold of societies around the world, one thing is clear: If there is salvation, it will be of our own making. Whether in a comforting
or unnerving way, the voices present in this exhibition connect to that idea, and together present a selection of works that invite the viewer to confront their own role in the larger structures that drive us forward. As a group of artists who value shared knowledge and mutual care, we want to encourage reflection on the themes of hope,

*(text by Raquel Mendes) 


They Stole Our Eyes but We Still See,

the sky is not blue but shades of grey Nature is Not Mother but

the planet is EvanescenceWe refuse saviours on this stolen land

Our immigrant actions are never Untitled But a balm to the ruptures

in our sonic imaginations.Death is WelcomeThe Aliens Aren’t Coming.
