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.
On view at Box13 ArtSpace May 30 through June 28, 2025.

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.

Overwhelming visuals paired with a poetic questionnaire performed in formal Arabic and English gives examiners a pause of reflection and meditation amidst the pressure and chaos of the inner city's rollercoaster.
