This event has ended.
BRIC presents Transcommunality: Laura Anderson Barbata, Collaboration Beyond Borders, an exhibition that documents the work of Mexican-born, New York-based artist Laura Anderson Barbata; focusing on the decade-long project she pursued with stilt-walking communities in Trinidad and Tobago, Mexico, and Brooklyn. Her project highlights the vitality of the moko jumbie stilt walking tradition and demonstrates the possibility of using this storied art form as a platform for social contemporary performance, group participation and protest. Spanning from 17 feet tall to just 11 inches small, the approximately 60 works presented in the exhibition range from textile-based to sculptural objects, as well as photographs, videos, and projections that document the collaborative projects. This presentation of Transcommunality at BRIC House will be the inaugural showing of the exhibition in the United States.
