CANARIES group show at Cleopatra’s w/Maggie Eighteen

Cleopatra's 110 Meserole Avenue, Brooklyn, NY, United States

Catch a reading performance by Maggie Eighteen, Monday, December 8th, as part of the Canaries group show at Cleopatra's in Brooklyn.

Canaries is a support group of women artists in New York City living and working with autoimmune conditions. Together they navigate the misconceptions around autoimmunity and the rising autoimmune epidemic. Through their conversations and work, the Canaries confront the epistemological shortcomings of a culture that insists on the duality of mind and body. Moving between the realm of the healthy and the realm of the sick, they seek to carve out a new site from which to understand identity formation in today’s world.
Cleopatra’s is pleased to present Canaries, a multimedia group exhibition that investigates healing, survival and the scarcity of language around these issues.
