About the Exhibition

Featuring works by Abigail Lucien, Brenda Barrios, Coco Fusco, Emmanuel Massillon, Hazel Batrezchavez, Jeffrey Meris, Karlo Ibarra, Lizania Cruz, Sergio Forero, Vincent Valdez, and Yvette Mayorga, the exhibition foregrounds practices that confront imposed identities by metaphorically “burning” the mask: acts rooted in ancestral memory, embodied authenticity, and radical love.
