The Destiny Opening Reception

  • Ann Street Gallery 104 Ann Street Newburgh, NY, 12550 United States (map)

Inspired by the prescient works of African American, feminist author, Octavia Butler, The Destiny is an exhibition of six BIPOC artists working in upstate New York. The exhibition examines concepts prevalent in Butler’s Parable of the Sower, which depicts imagined futures and recalls distant pasts through magical realism in a post-apocalyptic landscape. The novel reflects our fears about climate change, canonizes our futures as intelligent beings on a dying planet, and unearths the “essential human resources” that will be necessary for humans to inhabit - not colonize - a new world in space or on an unrecognizable Earth.
