Deathpower<\/span><\/i> is the new exhibition at the Law Warschaw Gallery. Guest-curated by Erin Robideaux Gleeson, the exhibition invites visitors to explore the ways that death multiplies life. Twenty-seven artists from different geographic and cultural backgrounds share personal and entangled vitalities across human and more-than-human registers. Five overlapping areas focus on rituals of care, including placemaking for ongoing communion between the living and the dead, language in acts of mourning, transformation and regeneration, survival, and the role of haunting for justice-to-come.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
