PATRISSE CULLORS — MALCOLM X REVISITED

From the Crenshaw Dairy Mart artist collective focused on trauma-induced conditions of injustice to scripting the season finale of Good Trouble on Hulu—a show about communities of color, women, queer, and trans folk living in Los Angeles—artist, organizer, BLM co-founder, and freedom fighter Patrisse Cullors thrives on speaking out through art alongside other inspiring creators.

Redcat presents the premiere of Cullors’ virtual event MALCOLM X REVISITED, a new commissioned video work recorded exclusively for the venue. The work explores the iconic historical figure Malcolm X and the current impact of the movement for Black lives.*

EMMA WOLF-HAUGH — DOMESTIC OPTIMISM

Leave a reply

DOMESTIC OPTIMISM—a show by Emma Wolf-Haugh—opens this month in Austria.

An exhibition about mangled and mistold modernist legacies, the project begins with furniture, inanimate objects that come loaded with social connections and invisible histories. Through the displacement of cultural detritus Wolf-Haugh retells modernist architectural history in the collective key of queer-feminist and decolonial practices, continually unearthing filth in times of hygiene, and complicating things that were never simple to begin with.*

Exhibition on view through November 20.
