The Honeycomb Network presents, our fall 2024 artist in residence: Yanira Castro! Please join us for the opening experience of "I Came Here to Weep", an interactive exhibit featuring sound, text, papel-maché masks, and photographs from Castro’s body of work on grief, ritual, climate disaster, and the Caribbean diaspora.
The Honeycomb Network is proud to be a part of a hub site for Yanira Castro’s Coordinated Public Art Project titled “Exorcism = Liberation” which investigates our relationship to land, self-determination, migration, and climate disaster.
Through the project, Castro and a multitude of artists invite the American public to imagine alternative futures through the lens of Puerto Rican culture and the U.S.' ongoing colonial history.
The Honeycomb Network is one of a multitude of participating community and arts organizations in a multi-city wide experience with presence in New York City, Chicago, and the Connecticut River Valley of Western Massachusetts.
