About this Event
Join us at The Peale for Spark Panel Discussion: Kinships & Entanglement - Bodies, Gender & Generational Memory.
What does it mean to carry memory through the body? How do artists reckon with reproductive control, ancestral grief, and gendered surveillance in the wake of industrial and technological systems?
This intimate panel brings together six artists from the Industrial Afterglow exhibition whose work delves into the afftecive and embodied legacies of our time. Through sculpture, installation, performance, and digital media, they illuminate stories of reproductive justice, intergenerational grief, care, and resistance.
Panelists include:
- Danielle d’Amico – creator of speculative reproductive devices that blur the line between medical design and poetic resistance.
- Jena Burchick – whose multi-sensory video work translates the bodily experience of childbirth under clinical surveillance.
- Jenee Mateer – whose AI-generated floral portraits explore femininity, power, and biological abstraction.
- Mariia Usova – whose delicate glass forms infused with bone ash become vessels of grief and remembrance.
- Leah Clare Michaels – whose performance work transforms public cleaning into an act of mourning and memory recovery.
Moderated by curator Liz Faust, this panel will explore how artists use light, ritual, and body-based practice to address systems of control - and imagine otherwise futures rooted in kinship, care, and embodied resilience.
Join us for an evening of thoughtful dialogue on what it means to remember through the body - and to resist through art.
