A Body for Hunger and Desire, Too – A Group Exhibition
September 13, 2024 - September 17, 2024
The Bakery Atlanta presents A Body for Hunger and Desire, Too, an exhibition curated by MN Nunes. Opening September 12, 2024, the exhibition will feature drawings, reliefs, installation, painting, sculpture, performance, and lens-based work to engage with the ways we reach for sustenance in the face of authority’s systemic denial. A Body for Hunger and Desire, Too converses with the connections between hunger, satiation, urgency, authority, and desire, abstracted and examined in their alignment with and against liberation.
Who holds the authority to make us desperate? What role does desire play in our rage? What is a body (of one, of many) to do with the cycles of hunger, unfufillment, anger, and desire? The work of Autumn Nelson, Eve Brown, Faith Fidgeon, Fatou Bessem, Jamil Fatti, Katy Beltrán, Kiara Gilbert, Hannah Helton, Hiroko Kelly, and Stephanie Howard converge together to present a response.
As part of the exhibition’s mission, attendees can make donations, with 60% supporting Sol Underground and 40% benefiting The Bakery Atlanta.
Opening reception will be September 12th from 6 pm to 9 pm.
Work will be on view during gallery hours the 13th through 17th.
