folded in

folded in is an exploration of complicity through camouflage and collage. It marks a moment of heightened awareness of our individual and collective entanglements with systems that are scaffolded by historical and present injustices. Drawn from a speech by Indian scholar Gayatri Spivak, the expression 'folded in' became an entry point into self-reflection beyond the notion of guilt. The works in this exhibition are borne out of personal reckonings within myself and family and have been shaped by ongoing conversations with colleagues. folded in starts a process of acknowledgment and conversation framed by personal history, the politics of the day and diasporic art making within the colony.
