“This project, to be presented at the Queens Museum from October 2022-February 2023, is my first solo museum exhibition. Spread across two galleries, the exhibition includes a site-specific installation as well as a series of new sculptures in glass that explore the ways in which Black motifs of inversion, stall and delay, and enfoldment can tactically resist protocols of white supremacy. Using the complicated spatial and political history of the 1964-65 World’s Fair and Flushing Meadows Corona Park as its backdrop, the exhibition considers the ways in which architecture acts as a spatial and social modifier upon which fantasies of futurity, freedom, and intimacy are realized.” – Charisse Weston

“My first visit to Suan Mokh in December 2018 was facilitated by the 2018-19 Dedalus Foundation Dissertation Fellowship, as part of, then, an inquiry into histories of abstract art in Thailand and the Philippines … As an independent scholar, I would greatly benefit from this grant from the Dedalus Foundation to be able to complete research and writing for this project.”
