Alia Ali
Refracted Futures
Curated by Aubrey Hobart

Roswell Artist-in-Residence
March 5 - April 16, 2021
Roswell Museum and Art Center

In the exhibition Refracted Futures, curated by Aubrey Hobart, artist Alia Ali creates a linguistic intervention that pushes against the singularity of how we reference the future. Through several distinct bodies of work, the exhibition demonstrates the urgent necessity to shift our thinking toward the many complex intersections between migration, borders, colonization, imperialism, capitalism, and feminist theory. These ideas become tools to refract or alter restrictive linear time and open a space from which multiple futures can and must exist, simultaneously.
