Maya Jeffereis “Fallout Shelter”

Soho20 Chelsea Gallery

This event has ended.

Maya Jeffereis will be working on her ongoing project Fallout Shelter, a social experiment and video installation that engages visitors in a conversation about ethics, morality, identity politics, and nation building. During her time at SOHO20, she will invite visitors to participate in a military training exercise that outlines a hypothetical apocalyptic scenario in which ten people of diverse backgrounds occupy a fallout shelter. Visitors must make life-or-death decisions based on limited information about the occupants’ identities. The artist invites visitors to get on camera to discuss their decisions in a video confessional format.
