Unsovereign Elements

University of Pennsylvania

Exhibition Opening and Artists Panel Discussion

Kelly Writers House

Join us on Thursday, March 30th at 6pm EST for the opening of Unsovereign Elements, a group exhibition curated by Cecilia González Godino, PhD Candidate at the Department of Spanish and Portuguese. Featuring artists from the Caribbean and its diaspora, this exhibition examines the ambiguous role of geological elements in the (re)production of the archipelago--certainly exhausted by modernity as discursive instruments, yet always retaining a poetic potential that far exceeds their materiality. Come meet the artists in conversation with Caribbean and Archipelago Studies scholar Yolanda Martínez-San Miguel (U of Miami), followed by a reception! This event is free and open to the public. For more information about this event and/or the exhibition, email unsovereignelements@gmail.com.On view from March 30th to May 10th, 2023, at The Brodsky Gallery (Kelly Writers House) and Slought Art Foundation in Philadelphia, PA.This exhibition was made possible thanks to the support of the Department of Spanish and Portuguese (UPenn), the Creative Ventures Fund, the Brodsky Gallery (KWH), the Penn Program in Environmental Humanities (PPEH), the GAPSA-Provost Fellowship for Interdisciplinary Innovation, the Wolf Humanities Center, the Price Lab for Digital Humanities, the Campaign for Community Award (C4C), the Center for Africana Studies, the Center for Experimental Ethnography (CEE), and the Center for Latin American and Latinx Studies (CLALS).
