A MOMENT IN EXTENDED CRISIS.

The article discusses an upcoming exhibition titled "A Moment in Extended Crisis" at UTS Gallery in Sydney. The exhibition features the work of six diasporic artists who challenge the promises of a good life, equality, and financial stability offered by capitalism. The artists propose questioning the dynamics of race and power, attaining beauty, and finding fulfillment in visual, aesthetic, and emotional experiences. The exhibition explores themes of migration, marginalization, resilience, and identity politics through various art forms such as painting, photography, sculpture, performance, and video. The curator, Andy Butler, draws inspiration from the theories of American theorist Lauren Berlant. The exhibition provides an opportunity for further exploration of these ideas and their intersection with cultural customs, traditional forms, and contemporary thinking. [Extracted from the article]
