Mending the Sky brings together eleven artists to respond to a world in distress. The exhibition borrows its title from a Chinese fable in which a rip in the sky causes the earth to split open, bringing floods, fires, famine, and disease—until a goddess takes on the arduous task of mending the broken sky.
Working across the fields of art, animation, and performance, these artists shift conversations, challenge entrenched views, and subvert the established order. Their work gives shape to the aftermath of chaos and calamity, building towards a more equitable future by helping us envision the new world that might rise in the wake of disaster. Considering the crucial actions of care, healing, and coming together, each of them recognizes that we must address past problems and remedy present issues in order to forge a new path forward. With roots in Brazil, China, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Vietnam, India,...Europe, and the American South, each of these artist projects are also acts of world-building that offer us a glimpse of a future we cannot yet see.
