PUSH/PULL
Exhibition Project

Showing at Box13 ArtSpace 
Opening May 30, 2025

PUSH/PULL is a transdisciplinary exhibition project featuring new collaborative works by aisha tida,  ARCOS Dance, and Leila Mnekbi. 

Centering intimate interactive dance and sound performances within a quilted site-specific installation, PUSH/PULL invites audience-participants to explore notions of authorship and agency while questioning the world we live in, the definitions and patterns we accept, and the loops and illusions we wish to escape.

On view at Box13 ArtSpace May through June 2025.


IN/OUT/THRU
Work in Progress
2023-ongoing

An immersive installation that transports viewers to the inside of their psyche, where cognitive dissonance is visualized by geometric patterns and chromatic tension. Sit in the overwhelm that comes from reckoning with who we are versus who we want to be (individually, collectively, societally).

Diaspora Dumpling
Potluck + Archiving Party

Event
2024
At the Diaspora Dumpling Potluck + Archiving Party, eight participants shared the edible results of their exploration of the richness of food as medium.

Each guest chef was challenged to invent, prepare, and share their very own diaspora dumpling, defined as “an inventive, cross-cultural food item made to be eaten in multiples—necessarily composed of a mixed filling that is wrapped in dough before being cooked. An edible medium for sharing who you are and where you come from.”
