'Shaper of God' at Brooklyn's Pioneer Works showcases American Artist's exploration of themes from Octavia Butler's writing, particularly 'Parable of the Sower.' This exhibition presents a vision for survival through community amidst societal collapse depicted in Butler's narrative. The artist draws parallels between the fictional world of Earthseed and contemporary issues, highlighting the need for collective action in the face of authoritarianism and environmental crises. The exhibition features installations like a video performance imagining rocket tests, showcasing a blend of artistic interpretation and historical references.
The Parable series, set in Los Angeles in 2024, suggests that building community is humanity's best chance for survival.
It warns that when demagogues and oligarchs hold power and oppose everything you value, you'd better have an escape plan.
