Aftercare Space was a participatory art installation that functioned as a transitory space for creative meditation and conversation after visitors exited the intense sensory experience of IN/OUT/THRU︎︎︎.
All the items in this communal crafting space were carefully selected to facilitate playful and tactile exploration of ideas and materials featured in the show.
The Aftercare Space Art Archive features the drawings, poetic musings, scribbles, and sculptures thoughtfully created by the visitors of the PUSH/PULL Exhibition Project.

A quilted 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).
IN/OUT/THRU hosts the sound work Lines Lines On These Walls by Leila Mnekbi.

PUSH/PULL is a transdisciplinary exhibition project featuring new works by aisha tida and Leila Mnekbi in the Upstairs BOX at Box13 ArtSpace, developed with the support of ARCOS Dance and funded in part by the City of Houston through Houston Arts Alliance.
Through experiential sculptural and sound works and audience collaboration, PUSH/PULL invites visitors to experiment with notions of agency and collectivity while questioning the patterns, loops, and illusions we wish to escape.

Unbound and unbacked op art quilt top, hand-mended and reinforced with hyperthin thread.
Vibrant pattern serves as physical representation of cognitive dissonance and embeds it into the space, like a quiet but intense interruption. The alternating shapes of blue and red vibrate against each other, vying for dominance.
