About the exhibit:

Titled after a poem by Nazik al-Mala`ika, which mourns lost faith in existing systems, Revolt Against the Sun takes up a seemingly impossible call to arms. The poem’s expressed disillusionment with the promises of a beautiful life under a once exalted sun parallels the ways many of us now soberly face the failures of the contemporary structures we live under. The artists in this exhibition contend with what resists the sun’s oppressive rays—histories and relationships that intimately connect us to each other and our nonhuman kin across time and space. Revolt Against the Sun asks us to envision what life can be in the face of what is.
