Welancora Gallery is pleased to present Reimagining Kinship, a group exhibition of work by Antonio Carreño, Chris Cook, King David, Grace Lynne Haynes, Madjeen Isaac, Julian Jamaal Jones, Will Maxen, Otto Neals, Na’ye Perez, and Helen Evans Ramsaran. The opening reception will take place on May 8 from 6:00 pm -8:00 pm at our temporary project space at 410 Jefferson Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221.
Encompassing a wide array of mediums, this exhibition presents a more nuanced and expansive view of the concept of motherhood. Existing outside the boundaries of gender and biological family, the works on view meditate upon nature as a vital and nurturing source, memory, tradition, the circle of life, community, intimacy, mythologies and alternate realities. In allowing the difficulties of these relationships to peek through, these artists shed the idea of motherhood as an inherently western idealized image in search of a multilayered and authentic depiction.
