from underwater mountains fire makes islands investigates aesthetic tools created by communities of people around the world who have thought and desired freedom from outside of the Western imagination. The exhibition is part of a curatorial research project that Yina Jiménez Suriel began in 2019, around the expansion of human subjectivities that contributes to the creation of new and different imaginaries. The exhibition aims to identify the ways in which contemporary aesthetic tools and artistic practices can materialize into “islands”, where people can live out new forms of relations with all living beings that inhabit the planet.
