"The Spiritual is Political"
The Spiritual is Political is the debut curatorial project from Malda Smadi MFA 23 PT. The exhibition brings together the works of nine artists, including Malda herself, whose practices reflect on personal experiences and realities of marginalization, while offering alternate ways of resistance. These practices range from painting, printmaking, textiles, glass, mosaic and material exploration, while integrating processes of deep introspection that connect back with the spirit. These processes are meditative, and they labor towards the soul’s inherent need for connection, acceptance, peace, and love, and necessitate access, grounding, resistance, liberation, and transformation.
RISD community members in the exhibition include:
