Swoon related news, by Feral Things on Oct 4, 2016 21:02:11 GMT 1, I'm sure most people have already seen elsewhere but, if not, Swoon has a new show called 'The Light After' opening this weekend at Library Street Collective in Detroit.ย She has also just installed a new piece in the Detroit Institute of Arts if anyone's in town for the show and wants to check it out.ย
I posted who some of the people in Swoon's piece are here but here's some more info about the imagery that wasn't in the MIMA exhibition...
Left: Edline is a young girl who lives in Cormiers in Haiti where Swoon has been working on the Konbit Project since the earthquake in 2010.ย In addition to helping the rebuilding work, Swoon organised puppet theatre for the kids of the village based around her love of Indonesian shadow puppets and Edline's character was the sun which is now the centre of this piece.ย Middle: This is a portrait of the artist Monica Canilao who Swoon has collaborated with several times over the years including at Black Rat Projects in 2007, in Djerba in Tunisia in 2014 and at their joint โWitch Womenโ show in San Fransisco last year.ย Right: Swoon lived in Cairo for two months in early 2009 and this is a portrait of a young women she saw just the once who was adjusting her hijab in the street one Sunday.
Left: Rosemary is a young girl who was at the 160 Girls project in Kenya when Swoon visited; the project cares for and seeks justice for girls who are the victim of sexual abuse and there's a short film about their work here.ย Middle: Sylvia Elena Morales was a 17 year old victim of the ongoing femicide in Cuidad Juarez which has seen thousands of women murdered since 1993; there's a short film worth watching here.ย Right: Kamayura is named after the indigenous tribe living in the Amazonian rainforest who have been fighting the construction of the Belo Monte Dam which threatens both the ecosystem they live in and their traditional way of life.
Left: Irina Arellano-Weiss is a photographer who has documented graffiti, political activism and hip hop culture for many years; you can see her work here.

We're planning a show here at my Gallery in Toronto (#Hashtag Gallery) for late fall. Covid's just thrown a wrench in the works currently.
