A roundtable discussion exploring the themes of the DIS CONNECTION exhibition and creative methods of the artists.
Alicia Piller
“The construction of each work becomes a biological unfolding of time that examines the energy around wounds left by historical traumas.”

Arezoo Bharthania
“I make mixed-media work to communicate, mutate, and abstract layers of memory along with elements of the home with the knowledge that both are inextricable from political and social contexts.”

Janet Neuwalder
“What survives is evidence of its strength—what is possible, enduring and important— despite its fragility, transformation and erasure with time.”

Maria Adela Diaz
“Migrant bodies are read as foreign bodies that are often rejected and discriminated against. We are the bodies that society wants to make invisible— bodies that occupy a space that by origin does not seem to belong to us. These vulnerable bodies that leave their lands unite on the surface of the sea, carried away by many currents, without rescue.”

Marthe Aponte
“Even in the worst situation, even if you are totally disconnected, there is always going to be some possibility of light, some little stars that are trying to come through. Both light and darkness are part of an existential dialectic that is in a constant conversation. They complement each other.”

Nurit Avesar
“History is not linear; it is interwoven with present and future. I have always been fascinated by the effect of history on the present, and the way current events and decisions determine the future.”
