Event Date
Reflecting Self-Care
Please save the date! AHI 102 is opening an exhibition - Reflecting Self-Care -- on Tuesday, March 9th, online and on the patio of the Manetti Shrem Museum.
Within the past year, the global health crisis has revealed how racial, gender, and economic disparities are deeply embedded in the infrastructure of this country. Social unrest, in response to political upheaval and racial injustices, has rebuked these oppressive forces and ignited change to ensure survival for those at the margins. While survival defines existence as living in spite of difficulties, preservation is ensured through an active and continuous care of oneself. The exhibition evaluates on one level the institutional mandate of higher education, and on another level, visualizes a curriculum where self-preservation and collective care are manifested through sustainable environments of learning and healing. In conversation with Andrea Bowers’s Education Should Be Free, the exhibition contemplates education that is free from a mentally and physically debilitating curriculum. By engaging in radical self-care, the curators of AHI 102 envision alternative modes of higher education that begin with caring for oneself. Reflecting Self-Care gathers artworks by artists--Sheridan Chavira, Fiona Heenan, Paola Lagunas, Simone Leigh, Xelestiál Moreno-Luz, Mimi McMillan, Benjamin Qin--and the UCD community to model a space of healing and revitalization for the mind and body by encouraging responsibility for communal wellness. Co-curated by Dorian Aguilar, Larisa Peñaloza Almazán, Marah Carney, Andrea Cota, Lauryn Crum, Qinmi Guo, Rebecca Myers, Daisy Scott, Jane Seslar, Sarita Vindas, and Shaina Whaley, Reflecting Self-Care explores radical self-care and methods of self-preservation as an essential part of our collective politics and well-being.
Join us on Tuesday, March 9th between 4-5pm at the Manetti Shrem Museum patio for a curator-led tour, and at 7-8pm online for a curator-led tour of the web component of the exhibition. The onsite component of the exhibition will run between March 9-March 29th; and the online component runs through November 30, 2021.
