Intersectionality in South Florida
June 16 – August 14, 2016
Intersectionality was lived experience before it was given a name. The concepts that atomic number 82 to the naming of intersectionality emerged in the 1960s, to business relationship for experiences of African American women who were systematically excluded from conservative feminist discourse – discourse that is still deeply affected past centuries-old currents of hegemonic, heteronormative and privileged patriarchal ability. The term intersectionality became popularized by the legal scholar Kimberlé Crenshaw in 1989 when describing the ways in which oppressive institutions are interconnected and cannot be examined separately. The term has since expanded, becoming instrumental every bit an analytical method within a wide range of fields, i.e. gender studies, identity politics, socio-political activism, socio-scientific advances or within the growing fields of environmental social scientific discipline, and health enquiry methodology.
Intersectionality relates to the multiplicity of social phenomenon that intersects the trunk equally more than one oppressive force simultaneously manifesting through combinations, not limited to the following: racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, classism, ableism, sexuality, faith, nationality, citizenship, urbanism, environmentalism, colonialism. Artists in this exhibition address this simultaneity, direct or indirectly.
Power within the intersections of this institution.
This exhibition focuses on works produced by approximately 50 South Florida artists — also included in the exhibition are cardinal artists whose practice is based outside South Florida — but whose piece of work was necessary to include in order to broaden the telescopic, diverseness, and affiliations that are inherent to the inclusive diversity of the theme of the exhibition. 
The ultimate goal of the exhibition is to critique the institutionalization of ability from within an institution without the effort resonating as tokenism. Intersectionality is an belittling sensibility through which identity is measured by its relationship to power. As an belittling tool, intersectionality must be as activism, as praxis, as the process by which a theory, lessons, or skills are enacted, embodied, reified or realized. In society to empower, intersectionality must facilitate progressive allyship through which local groups share activist affiliations, that must reach across local institutions to class solidarity on a trans-cultural, trans-national, trans-global level which ways intersectionality as a lived method seeks to empower socio-economic equality, socio-environmental activism or to simply to empower the multifariousness of personal or group agency as the Universal.
This exhibition is strategically designed to be an immersive critique of institutional limits by provisionally activating a forum for empowering diversity. Diversity is reflected past the various nuanced trajectories towards which each artists leads. Individually all works in the exhibition express or address non i just multiple controlling discursive power dynamics that focus on the body simultaneously — while collectively, all work in the exhibition works in tandem, to actuate localized installations, throughout the diverse rooms to simultaneously express similar overlapping ability dynamics. To farther parse, some work brings visibility to transparent constituents within groups who claim to represent them while other work focuses our gaze in the management of intersubjective trauma. Other work speaks to the internalizing of psychic and psychogeographical dislocation and atomization while other work abandons narrative all together to experiment with how the affects of architecturally inspired, relationally designed structures affect moods or ambience, mediated by the physicality of intersectional existential forces.
