Guest curated by Lorena Molina, slow burn centers how BIPOC artists use slowness as a form of refusal and a way to highlight the systems of oppression that structure their lives. Rather than treating time as neutral, the exhibition frames it as a political structure forged by histories of displacement, control, and erasure. In doing so, slow burn opens space to listen, to grieve, to be intimate, and to advocate for opacity and temporal self-determination.
Participating artists: Mara Duvra, Tesora Garcia, Maria Gaspar, Tianzong Jiang, Ana Mendieta, Joshua Moreno, Elaine T. Nguyen.
