At Rest brings together the works of six multigenerational Latinx artists to examine the importance of rest and recharding as a means of challenging societal norms and reflect on their own personal histories. Whether it be by themselves, with a partner, with their families, with friends, or with their broader communities, artists Estelle Maisonett, Henry Morales, Chloe Luisa Piñero, and the collective Comedor Azul show us the various ways in which they choose to rest and recharge either physically, mentally, or spiritually. By inviting viewers to reflect on their experiences and prioritize their well-being, this exhibition encourages exploring collective rest and recharge as a way to challenge societal norms that stigmatize rest within marginalized communities.
At Rest is sponsored by the John B. Hurford ’60 Center for the Arts and Humanities and VCAM’s Malcolm Baldwin 1962 Fund.
