Join MASS MoCA members for a tour of Like Magic with Curator Alexandra Foradas. In times of uncertainty, people often turn towards technologies of magic for solace and strength. The exhibition brings together ten artists who employ technologies of magic to resist systems that attempt to surveil and control people’s lives and stories, often because of their race, ability, sexuality, gender identity, indigeneity, or immigration status. Simone Bailey, Raven Chacon, Grace Clark, Johanna Hedva, Gelare Khoshgozaran, Cate O’Connell-Richards, Rose Salane, Petra Szilagyi, Tourmaline, and Nate Young use healing earth, witches’ brooms, AI, divination, and more to imagine care-full and joy-full futures into being, despite the peril promised by the past and present.
