A Soft Place to Land
Across the country, we are witnessing an unprecedented number of legislative actions threatening trans, immigrant, and reproductive rights, the growing criminalization of dissent, and the continued funding of genocide abroad. As many brace themselves for another politically charged election year, A Soft Place to Land defiantly centers joy as a relational and embodied practice worthy of archiving and passing on.
Dreamed and conceptualized by SOMArts’ Gallery Director Carolina Quintanilla in close collaboration with participating artists, this multidisciplinary exhibition invites audiences to connect with our ánimos, a Spanish word referring to the state of our spirit and a term of encouragement, as an act of survival and care. The artists ask central questions: What lifts your spirits? What would reclaiming a home base rooted in joy look and feel like? What evidence of it are we leaving behind, to ensure we can always reconnect to it?
