“Marking Time” at AEIVA
Just throughout the street from the Alys Stephens Centre, you are going to locate AEIVA. They host various totally free reveals throughout the 12 months for the group and nowadays, we’re diving into “Marking Time”.
The showcase is extremely profound. Exclusively, it provokes reflection on the affect of lifetime under mass surveillance, criminalization and imprisonment for qualified populations.
I was especially drawn to the parts designed by incarcerated artists. It is unachievable to overlook their enthusiasm, creativity and resourcefulness, inspite of lack of accessibility to common components.
Curated by award-winning expertise
“Marking Time” is a touring exhibit that we are blessed to host in Birmingham by means of Dec. 11. Right before earning the trip down South, the clearly show premiered at NYC’s Museum of Modern day Artwork PS1 (MoMa PS1).
Esteemed curator Nicole Fleetwood, PhD, thoroughly picked each individual piece. In reality, Fleetwood was honored with the MacArthur “Genius” Grant for her function on this exhibition and corresponding book.
