Refractions

After exploring Sediments as an allegory for memory in 2022, and Refractions as a metaphor for representation in 2023, SPAZIO GRIOT’s 2024 programme turns to the continuing effects of various hegemonic structures of power and the strategies employed to minimize and weaken their influence. Shown for the first time in Italy, Europe, and Rome respectively, Candice Breitz’s Whiteface (20 June – 2 July), Ligia Lewis’s A Plot A Scandal (3-16 July), and Mónica de Miranda’s Path To The Stars (17-28 July), prompt critical discourses around race, white supremacy and coloniality as the dark side of enlightenment thought, and advance Black-/and woman-led resistance as an enduring mode of futurity.
