FOR FREEDOMS LANDS IN FOTOGRAFISKA WITH COLLECTIVE EXHIBITION
The artist-led organization For Freedoms presented Listen Until You Hear, an exhibition in Fotografiska New York featuring artworks by Hank Willis Thomas, Cassils, Maia Ruth Lee, Cannupa Hanska Luger, Eric Gottesman and Kameelah Janan Rasheed.
All from diverse backgrounds, these six artists collectively create an exploratory forum for visitors to consider the idea of “visual listening” a concept where it is asked to listen with ears, but to connect more deeply with the body and to be more aware of the relationship each visitor has with others.
Listen Until You Hear is an invitation to audiences to be present by approaching the photography, film, sculpture and performance on display, with curiosity and intentional awareness. Each of the exhibiting artists explore the idea of listening as healing with work that is deeply personal political, and imaginative through a variety of media. The artists’ use of representation is an inquiry into the unseen and unheard, and highlights how meaning and value are shaped by our ability to listen and hear others.
