Into the Pluriverse
Opening Reception
June 25th | 7 PM - 9 PM
Into the Pluriverse is an interdisciplinary, group exhibition that incites the co-conspiracy of many ways of being human. The term pluriverse is a Zapatistan term that illustrates a commitment to and the concept of a world in which many worlds fit (Malandonado-Villalpando, 2022). Through the particularity of Afro-Caribbean diasporic worldmaking practices, the exhibition seeks to trouble ways of being that think of nature as necessarily perfect and untouchable, to highlight queer/multispecies kinship, Black arboricultural practices, and ancestor veneration as vital to temporal (re)negotiation. It proposes the artworks of Jessica Taylor Bellamy, April Bey, and Nia Lee as tools of interrupting systems of oppression and erasure. This program is presented through the generous support of Accelerate Resilience Los Angeles (ARLA).

A note on accessibility: Sovern LA is committed to creating a space that is welcoming and accessible to all. At this time, our building does not have ramps, which limits physical access for some community members. We recognize this as an area that needs improvement and are actively working toward making the space more accessible. We do our best to accommodate people of varying abilities and encourage anyone with specific access needs to reach out before attending so we can support you as best we can.
