Rising from the ashes: as Los Angeles rebuilds after the wildfires, a Del Vaz Projects exhibition features subversive new ecologies
Briefly

The exhibition 'Earthshaker' at Del Vaz Projects connects art and environmental issues by showcasing works from Derek Jarman, Ana Mendieta, and P. Staff. It includes a city-wide screening program and an art book featuring essays on contemporary ecological and queer themes. Curator Jay Ezra Nayssan emphasizes the exploration of humanity's contamination of the landscape and our bodies due to environmental toxicity. This exhibition aims to provoke reflection on the aesthetic qualities of pollution and the intersection of spirituality and sexuality in queer artistic practices.
Jarman's work leaves unanswered questions about the beauty of pollution and its implications, challenging us to reflect on our current eco-political climate.
Del Vaz Projects blends diverse disciplines, invoking spirituality and sexuality through art to explore humanity's contamination of the environment and its physical effects.
