Remy Styrk, July Artist in Residence, presents “At the Borderline of Time.” A multi-disciplinary art exhibition opening with talk/Q&A.
An all-encompassing leap into the difference between meeting one’s soul versus meeting their physical body to start the deeper conversation of intersectionality and suicide awareness in Black and Brown trans communities.
“At the borderline of time, suicide forced me to come face to face with the things I loved most. Importantly, what I loved most about myself – my soul (growth, maturity, decay). We have as much to learn about death as we do life. The closer we are to observing the truth of the soul, the more life we attract.
Art forces us to view differently, deeply, and critically. My art has always been at the root of affirming who I am, discovering and creating my personal vision and philosophy, exploring who and how I love, and how I celebrate, mourn, and look upon all of the moments that make me human. My work here is to provide a space for others to celebrate themselves and explore what visibility and sense of self mean to them. The goal is to get people thinking differently, deeply, and critically.”
