Liberation in Four Movements

Centering Black scholarship, artistry, and embodied practices, Liberation in Four Movements traverses non-linear paths, inviting spillage and contemplation as we navigate narratives of dehumanization, ultimately arriving at meditations on states of humanity and freedom. The journey flows through the provocative lens of Fred Moten’s query in “Blackness and Nothingness: Mysticism of the Flesh” of what it would mean for the enslaved to remain in the ship’s hold. Within Moten’s moment in the hold, the exhibition offers a hypothetical mix of shifting outcomes and potentialities yet to come, illuminating how to resist dehumanization through the power of action. Curated by Ingrid Jones, the exhibition features works by Erika DeFreitas, Ja’Tovia Gary, Amir George, Onyeka Igwe, Donna James, Elsa James, and Michaëlle Sergile.
