Superposition Gallery (139 Hampton St, Sag Harbor, NY 11963) presents “MAMI WATA,” a group exhibition curated by Storm Ascher set within Eastville Community Historical Society’s Heritage House Museum. Participating artists include: Derrick Adams, Patrick Alston, Jessica Taylor Bellamy, Sanford Biggers, Layo Bright, Michael A. Butler, Alisa Sikelianos-Carter, Renée Cox, Damien Davis, Ellon Gibbs, Ashanté Kindle, Audrey Lyall, Eilen Itzel Mena, Ludovic Nkoth, Tariku Shiferaw, and Khari Turner.
“MAMI WATA,” named after the goddess deity and water spirit from African and Afro-Caribbean mythology, is a curation of works deeply rooted in matrilineal restorative energy. Participating artists were invited to embody the complexities that lie in this mythological symbol, from prosperity and fertility to chaos and misfortune.
