September 28 @ 1:55 am - October 27 @ 5:00 pm
The exhibition of artist Patricia Encarnación, “Tracing the Underside: The Epigenetics of Tropicalization,” is on display until Oct. 27 at New Art Dealers Alliance (NADA) House 17, 2nd floor, at Nolan Park on Governors Island after opening on Sept. 3.
Encarnación’s exhibition explores the intricate relationship between Caribbean bodies and landscapes as territories that withhold memories. This project delves into the historical and contemporary implications of tropicalization, employing themes of Afrofuturism and mad studies to interrogate notions of kinship and identity within the African diaspora.
