Book Talks Series with Jimena Mendoza: Water has no hands
Focuses on texture, language, and the fluid themes of the publication.
How do we gather what refuses to be held?
Water Has No Hands—the award-winning publication documenting the work of artist Jimena Mendoza, operates less as a traditional catalogue and more as a vessel. Through experimental graphic forms, essays, and imagery, the book moves fluidly across processes of contamination and fire, solar time, camouflage, and distant encounters.
Join us for a book talk and conversation with Jimena as we unravel the atmospheric geographies, cosmic registers, and material sensibilities woven into this extraordinary object.
