Naomi Rincón Gallardo's first U.S. solo exhibition at Kadist features her innovative videos that fuse ancient Mesoamerican mythologies with ecological themes. Works like 'Resiliencia Tlacuache,' 'Soneto de Alimañas,' and 'Filiación abono' utilize creative costumes and narratives to spotlight queer politics and environmental advocacy in a playful yet poignant manner. The exhibition showcases an array of characters, including a fuchsia-winged bat and a gang of flies, reflecting the complex relationships between species and ecosystems, and highlighting the vulnerability of nature amidst modern challenges.
In Rincón Gallardo's surreal 'Soneto de Alimañas/Sonnet of Vermin,' the artist tells the story of a fuchsia-winged bat with large pink ears and glowing green eyes.
Through the Kadist exhibition's videos, Rincón Gallardo presents elaborate cosmologies that reference ancient Mesoamerican mythologies and ecological processes.
