There are new suns
“We have to recognize that a multitude of realities have, do, and will exist”
~ adrienne maree brown
There are new suns is a co-curated program of interdisciplinary and experimental performance works highlighting the edges of access, disability, and race.
The program opens with Yun Lee’s Space C, a poetic gesture that relies on audio descriptions of a site inaccessible to the audience. Creating an imagined “third space”, Lee’s audio descriptive conventions articulate an audio environment similar to the performance venue yet not quite the same, blurring the sites of performance that are both unavailable to the audience and ever-present in its live performance. Working directly with audio captions as a central component of his work, Jay Afrisando’s videos from his [SOUNDSCAPTION] series invite viewers to imagine sounds as they are displayed in text on the screen. Based on phone footage from 2016-2020 and made at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, his videos respond to the prevalence of audio captioning used in Zoom calls (and now TikTok videos) that became a pivotal point of access for those communicating online in languages that were not native to them.
In her video essay, Malitas: women, disability and medical violence, Ana García Jácome moves us to reconsider histories of disability in Mexico that asserts a focused politic around the systems of access and how race and gender become impacted by those negotiations. Conversely, Carolyn Chen’s adagio features performers exuding complex facial expressions as they respond to an in-ear recording barely audible to the audience. A piece that translates feeling through the performing body, it gestures towards the transcendence of sound as a medium. Lastly, Ariella Granados performs a not-yet-titled improvisational work that recalls their first encounters with language and access to highlight distinct moments of their immigrant family’s experiences with language barriers.
There are new suns thus poetically and creatively describes multiple conditions of disability to speculate alternative relationships to sound, image, and language. Or, as Octavia Butler writes, “There is nothing new under the sun, but there are new suns.”

The 2023 PRISMS Contemporary Music Festival presents Re-Works. This year's festival features an exciting lineup of composers and performers who are exploring the many ways in which music can re-imagine, re-conceive, and re-envision existing music, and the diversity that arises from those sonic conversations.
From the virtuosic Desahogo by Nicaragua’s Yader Ugarte to the cutting-edge sounds of ASU’s composition faculty, from the monumental Sur Incises by France’s Pierre Boulez to new works by emerging composers and electronic music for ambisonic dome, PRISMS explores the ways in which music can be used to express the unique perspectives of different cultures, and how the notion of Re-Work acts as a lens through which to understand these diverse musical traditions.

This month, we celebrate Southwest Contemporary’s Fall/Winter 2023 issue, Vol, 8: Medium + Support, with an artist conversation and light refreshments.
At 6pm, featured artists alejandro t. acierto, Lizz Denneau, and Safwat Saleem will discuss their work and the interconnected relationships with the issue’s juror, MOCA’s Laura Copelin, moderated by Natalie Hegert, Southwest Contemporary Arts Editor.
This program is a part of Southwest Contemporary’s Critical Commons initiative that embraces creative and critical discourse, on and off the page. Each program is a community event designed to engage stakeholders (artists, writers, thinkers, cultural workers, and the public) in discussions of the roles and impacts of cultural discourse across the Southwest and West, with attention to the unique needs of communities in the vast Intercoastal U.S. that are so often overlooked by mainstream art media.
Coalitional and Communitarian Aesthetics
Coalition building for minoritarian communities remains a challenge. If some of the main obstacles to form alliances between these communities are asymmetries of power and conflicting experiences of oppression, aesthetic expressions from these communities have the potential to transcend these tensions, when mobilized critically. Our panel discusses communicational tactics that strive to garner solidarity for different causes: Rizzo examines how in 2012, a collective of mothers of the disappeared in Mexico use embroidery to advocate for their missing children by emphasizing their humanity and showing how they too “deserve” to be found. Yeboah’s play “20/20” seeks to activate community dialogue on the legacy of Seattle’s summer-long occupation and protest of George Floyd’s murder. In the process, Yeboah learns valuable lessons about the ethical complexities of representation and solidarity building in a fractured community. acierto’s archival work choreographs the process of looking at the history of the United States’s occupation of the Phillipines and allows viewers the capacity to understand its legacies with an emphasis on care towards those implicated and inheriting the histories the archive hosts. Lastly, Kulkarni advances a Black feminist revision of the practices of love, solidarity, and art making at the Sunday Tea Party, a weekly happening in Fort Greene, Brooklyn during the late 1990’s. All of these reflections present art-making as a platform for coalition building, one that challenges the past and present to reimagines minoritarian futures.
Exact time/day of panel presentation TBD. More soon!
Sharing the space/time at NACL will be thingNY, a collective of New York composer-performers who fuse electronic and acoustic chamber music with new opera, improvisation, theater, text, song, and installation. Founded in 2006, thingNY performs experimental sound works created collaboratively by the core ensemble - Paul Pinto, Erin Rogers, Jeffrey Young, Gelsey Bell, Dave Ruder, and Andrew Livingston - and by adventurous composers such as Jennifer Walshe, Robert Ashley, Rick Burkhardt, Pauline Oliveros, Miguel Frasconi, Vinko Globokar, John Cage, Julius Eastman, Jessie Marino, and Andrea La Rose.
thingNY will be collectively creating a new piece to be premiered in January 2024 at The Brick as part of the Exponential Festival. The piece deals with ancestral language, digestion as a metaphor for lineage and ancestry, displacement through time and space, and similar themes.
Owlian Encounters: Species Concern Across Disciplines
Speakers: alejandro t. acierto, Heather Bateman, Jennifer Clary-Lemon, & Marcel O’Gorman
The Burrowing Owl (Athene cunicularia) is a small, light brown, long-legged bird that lives underground in self-made burrows or occupies the burrows of other creatures such as prairie dogs, ground squirrels, and tortoises. The unique below-earth habitat of this yellow-eyed raptor makes it an alien of sorts among its Strigiforme peers such as the more common Barn Owl and Great Horned Owl. But its earthy habitat also makes the Burrowing Owl uniquely susceptible to displacement by human infrastructure, which explains why it is a species of concern in the ever-sprawling state of Arizona.
This panel looks to the Burrowing Owl and its cthontic lair as a site of both conservation action and reflection about interspecies relations. Through a discursive assembly of ornithology, rhetorical studies, art, and design, the panelists will demonstrate how “concern” takes shape across disciplines and between species. We will explore how human growth marginalizes Athene cunicularia, discuss the institutional and infrastructural politics of owl “rehoming,” and unearth the ad hoc “artificial burrows” designed to persuade this alienated species to stay.
Exact day/time of panel is TBD

What if we search for the stardust of which we all—animal, vegetal, mineral—are made? This multimedia, transdisciplinary exhibition showcases the works of SLSA members who engage notions of the alien via trans-species worlds and beings, including animals, rocks, and plants. The exhibition opens an array of channels to non-human stories and attends to the many complex relations among the human and the non-human—neither of which are alien, after all.

Beneath the surface of the Sonoran Desert in Arizona (USA) lies a vast network of burrows, tunnels, and rocky hideouts that establish a subterranean commons filled with nonhuman species. A flourishing microbiome, these (under)commons illuminate the complex entanglements desert ecologies have that can support life in what has otherwise been described as desolate, empty, or even vapid. As urban sprawl migrates outwards in parasitic fashion, these unseen (under)commons continue to experience their own kind of metropolitan degradation, impacting not only the animals that flourish, but the expansive microbiome that is further struggling due to the persistent climate crisis.
Evoking adrienne marie brown’s idea of being in “right relationship” with the planet, a notion that enables how we feel and navigate pleasure as we experience life on Earth, this project shares new and ongoing sculptures, time-based works, and work on paper that consider the underground as a productive site for shifts that impact the surface. Through this work, pieces in this exhibition ask: In what ways do subterranean infrastructures, whether natural or industrial, impact what happens above ground? How might we imagine the invisible, the hidden, the unseen as conceptual, material, or critical frameworks to understand this important moment in building new relationships to the land?
Risk Work: Thinking Through Artists’ “Punitive Literacy”
Art interventions labeled “guerrilla” are commonly understood as ephemeral fugitive actions that temporarily disrupt spatial and social order. While these actions have become a key site for studying how artists deploy agency and resist power, the racial politics of mobility, vulnerability to premature death, and policing central to each work has yet to be conceptualized as an integral part of guerrilla art’s forms, reception, and legacy. In Faye Gleisser’s new book, Risk Work: Making Art and Guerrilla Tactics in Punitive America, 1967–1987 (University of Chicago Press), she analyzes the complex relationship between guerrilla tactics in art, state power, risk management, and policing that deepened during the 1970s and 1980s in the United States.
Drawing on art history, performance studies, geography, legal studies, and Black feminist theories of mobility and illegibility, the book tracks how artists in the US negotiated and often altered a burgeoning security apparatus amidst the expansion of policing and prisons commonly known as America’s “punitive turn.” Through close readings of artists’ decisions to solicit, evade, or manipulate encounters with the carceral apparatus, Gleisser contends that artists' calculation of punitive encounter not only reveals the deepening (and overlooked) relationship of policing and experimental art, but also exposes the gendered and sexualized racial politics of risk-taking that have remained overlooked in white-centering narrations of American Art. By focusing on the asymmetrical relations of artists to state sanctioned violence as a central form within the making of guerrilla art, the book animates artists' punitive literacy— cumulative knowledge that allows for self-protective mobility in a colonialist, anti-Black penal society.
In conjunction with Risk Work’s 2023 publication, this roundtable brings together artists, scholars, and curators who examine artists’ engagement with policing, coloniality, and abolitionist landscapes of world-making and resistance. In conversation with art historian and curator, Faye Gleisser, artists Dan Paz and alejandro t. acierto will respond to “Risk Work” and gauge the possibilities of discussing artists’ tactical negotiation of near or potential carceral relations—their punitive literacy—as a form of structural knowledge. Moderated by Jasmine Mahmoud, a scholar and curator of art, public policy, and geography, the panelists will also draw out examples in their research and practice, to further consider how the work of survival made materially manifest in guerrilla art, might provide alternative methods for assessing the work of risk, as well as the range of unsafety that risk management policy regulates among people with differently complex relations to the state.
Exact time/day of round table is TBD. More soon!

Enmeshed Worlds
the unavoidable entanglement of technology and our social order
August 30 – September 22 | FFAW September 1, 6-9 pm
Featuring work from Britt Ransom, Alejandro T Acierto, Jon Chambers, and Tiffany Funk, Enmeshed Worlds is a critical examination of how technology affects our social structures and relationships.
The things that stayed is the continuation of an ongoing dialogue between alejandro t. acierto and Dan Paz. Often moving in parallel motion, their work and research traces the non-linear opportunities of photography to shape the expanded conditions of capture. The things that stayed conflates contentious framings of the shower and the archive that seek to fix unstable histories entangled in the weaponization of resources. Throughout this work, they illuminate the tensions and complications of holding and touch where the shower and the archive become slippery institutional spaces understood as multivalent sites of access and foreclosure, where preservation becomes a troubled site to ask “what is it that we are preserving?” Together, these artists gesture toward the citational possibility of architecture that remains.

The New Bedford Whaling Museum has organized The Wider World and Scrimshaw, a day-long symposium offered in-person or online on Tuesday, March 28, from 10:00-5:00 pm EST. Renowned and emerging scholars will explore the global carving traditions from across the Pacific Rim that were influenced by, sat in conversation with, and had an influence on “Yankee” whaling scrimshaw. The day celebrates international maritime material culture and dives deep into the Whaling Museum’s Indigenous collections from Oceania, the Pacific Northwest, and Global Arctic. The Museum’s unparalleled collection of scrimshaw is the largest in the world, and has been widely studied and published. In contrast, the Pacific Rim collections are less well understood. Generously supported by the Terra Foundation for American Art, this symposium is an opportunity to reframe the Museum's approach to these two collection areas through a global lens, and consider what responsibilities museums carry to the communities and histories represented in their collections.
Panelists include:
alejandro t. acierto, Assistant Professor, School of Humanities, Arts and Cultural Studies, Arizona State University
Maggie Cao, David G. Frey Associate Professor of Art History, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
Michael R. Harrison, Chief Curator and Obed Macy Research Chair, Nantucket Historical Association
Igor Krupnik, Cultural Anthropologist and Curator of Arctic and Northern Ethnology Collections, National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institutions
Emily Jean Leischner, PhD Candidate, Department of Anthropology, University of British Columbia
Courtney M. Leonard, Assistant Professor of Art and Art History, St. Olaf College
Steven Loring, Archaeologist (Arctic Studies Center), National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution
Bart Pushaw, Postdoctoral Fellow, University of Copenhagen
Sienna Weldon, MA Candidate, Art History, University of California, Davis
Jennifer J. Wagelie, Academic Liaison, Jan Shrem and Maria Manetti Shrem Museum of Art, University of California, Davis
Marina Wells, PhD Candidate, American and New England Studies, Boston University
Naomi Slipp, Chief Curator, and Michael P. Dyer, Curator of Maritime History, New Bedford Whaling Museum
Understanding that material culture serves as a rich primary source of documentation of colonial encounter, adaptation, and influence in various directions, symposium participants will consider rich examples of material culture from the Pacific Rim and whaling voyages and query what they might teach us about the relationships between communities throughout the region, nineteenth-century whalers, and histories of colonial maritime exploration during the nineteenth century and beyond. Among other topics, speakers will consider Native Alaskan carving traditions, including Iñupiat and Yup'ik makers, Native Hawai’ian Lei niho palaoa, the place of gender and meaning of materials across different cultures, Fijian tabua, Māori material culture, and Pilipinx archives and the circulation and replication of imperialist imagery, and will share models for Indigenous-led engagement with museum collections. The symposium aims to open a dialogue about the colonial legacies that inform collections like this, and asks: How can we better understand and interpret these collections from a global perspective, and what can such engagements offer – in the galleries and beyond, as Museums steward objects from around the world?

Weinberg/Newton Gallery (688 N. Milwaukee Ave.), a non-commercial gallery dedicated to promoting social justice causes, is partnering with the American Civil Liberties Union of Illinois to present All that Glows in the Dark of Democracy. The exhibition will kick off the ACLU of Illinois’s 2022 Engagement Series on Democracy titled “We the People” and will feature artworks that present a range of perspectives on democracy as a concept both in theory and in practice. Rather than presuming a universal definition of the term, these artists offer entry points into a dialogue via various media and modes of sensory engagement. Interactive installations, sculpture and video, including newly commissioned site-specific works, invite viewers to think critically about elections, monuments, public and private space, and national symbols. The artists featured are Alejandro T. Acierto, Kandis Friesen, Hannah Givler, Aram Han Sifuentes, Ariana Jacob and Aay Preston-Myint.
In celebration of the closing of the exhibition this exists inside this frame but it also exists inside this other frame, organizer alejandro t. acierto presents selections from the adjoining essay made in reflection of the work on display. Presented as a series of vignettes, acierto shares research, notes on the work, and considers the expansion and development of this project.
this exists inside this frame but it also exists inside this other frame is an exhibition of works by seven artists across media that mediate on the entanglements of power, beauty, memory, and grief. Conceived as a series of conversations prompted by posts across the late artist Mark Aguhar’s Tumblr pages, these projects engage the slippages of content as images and texts are reconstructed, reimagined, and reinvented. Throughout these works, statements veer towards questions, texts turn into images, while objects become provocations. Nothing is settled and instead we are left with the materials of thought and to assemble meaning between gestures. Responding to the complexities of experience, namely those impacted by legacies of violence, dispossession, and loss, these works are conditioned by the impact of media that travels, of images and content that attempt to capture and constrain. Ultimately, these projects question the politics of looking and reveal the burdens of gazing. They reframe the ways we understand what is – and can be – seen while troubling the fixity with which images are conditioned.
This exhibition features work by Mark Aguhar, Abraham Avinsan, Cameron A. Grainger, Katie Hargrave, Meredith Laura Lynn, Ronka McClain, and Dan Paz and is organized by alejandro t. acierto.

Withholding: a reading room for the Archive of Constraint is a temporary site for study; a resting space within and among the undercommons, it is an active performance of refusal and fugitive planning. Drawn from objects and ephemera held within the Archive, this project traces the ongoing legacies of carceral systems from colonial occupations and their image-making practices. As an expanded, experimental site of performance whose relics are composed of objects, videos, and images, the Archive maps the contours of corporeal colonization found throughout vernacular images and ephemera of colonial material culture. The work of and inside the reading room thus lingers on two central questions: how do we outline the conditions of looking? and further, what are the edges of possession (and sovereignty) in the aftermath of colonial extraction?
Our ability to conceive of ourselves surviving and thriving in the future is crucial to manifesting prosperity as a lived reality. What we consume today—the stories we read, the films we watch, and the World we experience—all directly impact our capacity to imagine what's possible for us tomorrow. Unfortunately, for Queer, Trans, and BIPOC people, self-actualization possibilities are difficult to envision in a world where they're forced to define themselves against the backdrop of a dominant culture that stereotypes, excludes, and often harms them.
Other World seeks to reframe what's possible for those who are too often pushed to the fringe by re-centering those margins through stories of alternate futures and worlds created on their own terms. This exhibition lifts the voices that draw upon their own history, communities, and movements to ask: Who are we? Where have we come from? What do we believe in? What fills us with hope?

Given the imbalances and inequalities of import/export systems around the globe, this exhibition invites artists to reflect on the ways in which imports and exports affect their local spaces. How does the movement of people (immigration, tourism, etc.), goods (manufactured, agricultural, etc.), and/or information (data, digital media, etc.) affect local communities, politics, economies, and environments? Examples of relevant topics include, but are not limited to: impacts related to migration, tourism, food cultures, natural resources, agriculture, manufactured goods, digital information, and cultural expressions.
This exhibition was juried by Dawit L. Petros and presented by the Global Understanding Research Initiative (GURI) of Kent State University.
Full list of participating artists coming soon.

Teachable moments create space for rethinking, for cross-examination, and to draw on abstract concepts deploying them not only as method but also as authentic behavior in the heat of the moment. It is the generative collision of authentic world experience and the practice-realm of thoughts.
