Installation photos from our sacred exhibition Agony in the Tropics with Nereida Patricia ~ open Friday, Saturday, Sunday 1-6pm ☀️ @nereida.patricia For Nereida Patricia, freedom is not a destination, but a practice of moving through constraint. In a new series of beaded relief sculptures, Patricia transforms a story of violence into one of transcendence. Combining Christ’s Agony in the Garden, a biblical episode in which Christ must grapple with his mortality, with Josephine Baker’s 1925 performance in La Revue Nègre, where she famously donned a plastic banana skirt, Patricia transforms Josephine Baker into a contemporary Christ-like figure, navigating societal systems towards liberation and spiritual enlightenment. 💦 Photos by Max Lakner @maxlakner
