“Born in Flames: Feminist Futures”

"Born in Flames: Feminist Future" is a group exhibition of 14 female-identifying and non-binary artists that looks at current struggles for equality and justice. On view April 28 – September 12, artists like Caitlin Cherry, Chitra Ganesh, Clarissa Tossin, Huma Bhaba, Firelei Báez, Lizzie Borden, María Berrío, Pamela Phatsimo Sunstrum, Rose B. Simpson, Sin Wai Kin (fka Victoria Sin), Saya Woolfalk, Shoshanna Weinberger, Tourmaline, and Wangechi Mutu explore their place "within a futurist lineage, but also exposes the ongoing impulse to imagine new realities on their own terms." The exhibition takes its name from Lizzie Borden's 1983 documentary-style feminist fiction film, Born In Flames, which explores racism, classism, sexism, and heterosexism in an alternative United States socialist democracy.
