Acoustics of Resistance, VOID Art Centre, Northern Ireland

Spreading over two galleries with a mixed media installation and an audiovisual installation, Karikis's multi-partite project Acoustics of Resistance is exhibited at Void Art Centre in Derry, Northern Ireland. The project engages with the climate emergency through three perspectives: scientific data forecasting the near future, individual and collective ethics, and emotional relationship to the elements. Sound is proposed as a method to cultivate our relationship with the environment and listening as a strategy to learn the language of nature. 5 Oct - 7 Dec 2024 (free entrance)

Blackwood Gallery, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada

The Whole World in Our Hands is an invitation to break apart, remodel, and practice new grammars of empathy and togetherness. Composed of public artworks, experiential workshops, and a film made by, for, and with disabled artists and collaborators, this program asks: how does the presence of blindness, deafness, illness, and neurodiversity nurture a language that is sensed rather than spoken? In this context, Mikhail Karikis presents his project I Hear You (2019) created with neurodiverse people and their carers. Blackwood Gallery 3 Sep 2024 - 7 Jan 2025.
