| Details: | Situated on the cusp of another pivotal election, poetics of dissonance presents seventeen artists from the SMoCA collection whose work navigates the tumultuous landscape of socio-political discourse and resolutely confronts hot-button issues—from immigration to colonialism—in an open invitation for dialogue and introspection, even amidst a cacophony of discord. Whether comedic, cynical, polarizing, or deeply personal, each artwork in the exhibition serves as a vital conduit for open discourse, underscoring the complexities of power, identity, and activism standing at the center of the cultural and political zeitgeists that have dominated recent decades. From Enrique Chagoya’s deeply provocative Loyalty (2003) to Faith Ringgold’s haunting Under a Blood Red Sky #7 (2006) to Alfred Quiroz’s shockingly irreverent Columbus Introduces Eurocentric Philosophy to America (1992), poetics of dissonance is a vivid reminder of art’s enduring capacity to challenge, inspire, and provoke. Featuring artwork by Dominique Blain, John Cage, Enrique Chagoya, Sue Coe, Luis Cruz Azaceta, Betty Drake, Rupert Garcia, Luis Jimenez, Nina Katchadourian, Annette Lemieux, Pedro Meyer, Malaquías Montoya, Alfred Quiroz, Nancy Reitkopf, Faith Ringgold, Mel Roman, Ian Van Coller.
