Opening reception | First Friday, June 2nd |Bunker Center for the Arts | Tristan Lindo
Entering Xanropa
Entering Xanropa is an exhibition featuring artwork that centers around a science-fantasy narrative I am developing called Xanropa- which is the name of the planet the story takes place on. My story is about how humanity leaves Earth in order to make a utopian paradise among the cosmos but they end up recreating the same troubles that caused them to abandon Earth. Inevitably, the humans leave Xanropa and our main character named XAN-1 (a mechanism that was created by humans to help construct and maintain the planet) must assess what has been left behind by the humans. The artworks are reflections of my belief that we need to acknowledge the beauty around us just as much as we need to acknowledge the chaos around us. It is easier to give up on humanity but in the inner workings of humankind, there is profound beauty and care that we are capable of expressing.
