The Voice of Many, The Voice of One: Collective Actions for Resistance and Mutual Aid
Curated by Haiba Hamilton and Natalia Nakazawa

107 Suffolk St

The Clemente and The Flux Factory Rhizome Project present visionary work from a range of artists working in and through collective action, creating solidarity networks that facilitate different ways of being with one another. We asked the artists to respond to the following set of questions: How, as a collective, do you center the work of building and sustaining communities? In what ways does your collective support others to survive and thrive? How have you activated creativity in your world? Who are the people of your collective and community? This exhibition will include works from collectives: The Salon, DayonesArt Collective, and The Chrysalis Kali Collective, including artists:YVETTE MOLINA @yvettemolina.studioCAROLINE GARCIA @_garciagramDANAE HOWARD / Artschoolscammer @artschoolscammerDENNIS REDMOON @redmoondennisMAKEBA RAINEY @justkeebsYANNI YOUNG @yanniyoungAnAkA @4n4k4RHONDA L.

While focused on the cultivation, presentation, and preservation of Puerto Rican and Latinx culture, we are equally committed to a multi-ethnic / international latitude, determined to operate in a polyphonic manner that provides affordable working space and venues to artists, small arts organizations, emergent and independent community producers that reflect the cultural diversity of the LES and our City. The Flux Factory Rhizome Project is a commitment to give intentional space to Black voices, and provide a platform for Black narratives by offering the support needed to help these narratives thrive and evolve. The Rhizome Project is an evolving entity. As it grows, we will add programs focused on professional development and other forms of support. We commit to listening to the leadership of Black artists with an ongoing commitment both economically and through action. Many roots support the plant.
