Caroline Garcia’s Dancing on Axes and Spears
January 31 – April 21, 2023
George Segal Gallery
Caroline Garcia’s Dancing on Axes and Spears invites visitors to stretch their understandings of Filipino cultural traditions, community resilience, and personal identity in the artist’s first solo museum exhibition featuring an interactive martial arts gym, virtual and augmented reality artworks, and various forms of choreography.
Garcia’s works explore her Filipino identity, assimilation and cultural memory, and Indigeneity through diasporic and feminist perspectives. Employing video, performance, sculpture, and installation, Garcia addresses a central theme of “alterity” – an anthropological term meaning “otherness” to mark her position in the diaspora where distance, language barriers, and colonization fracture traditional knowledge.
