Opening reception: April 17, 6-9pm

In the current era of evolving technological intersections with the body, the coupling of organism and machine is birthing reevaluations on the body’s potential. Drawing from feminist posthuman theory, the work in the exhibition challenges current notions of reproduction, gender, and family structures, suggesting alternative synthetic reimaginings of the body. In the thesis exhibition i don’t know how, but it grew from me, traditional biopolitical structures are dismantled and replaced with constantly exfoliating cyborgian skinscapes. Shifting perspective on gestational labor and the leaky excess of bodily production, this work questions the decisions surrounding biotech, who has the authority to determine how hunman developments are distributed, and how advancements can restructure liberation.
