she was never one body - pt ii introducing the artists : @kaithais Kai Thaís’s work responds to the vulnerable and oftentimes visceral feminine desire as felt through the body. Her sculptural practice relies on creating encounters with ‘anti-bodies’. Texturing the experience of feminine desire, queer and chronically ill bodies through frictions in found and repurposed materials.  Her material choices of fabric, photographs and found objects speak to the feminine, the domestic, and the fast consumption of image and garments. Her use of found materials aims to resist fast textile production and consumption, simultaneously honoring the life the textile garments have already had. Her sculpture becomes a bodily site of affection, change, and desire using mostly household items like table runners, curtains, clothes; and capturing images of vulnerability through bodies in motion, in change, in interaction. 22/10/26 @eastwaybaths free entry

Hasta La Raíz- down to the roots- is an exhibition about what we carry when we leave home. In an era that too often dismisses nostalgia as kitschy or commodifies it for profit, this exhibition reclaims it as a vital tool for immigrants. Hasta La Raíz asks how the act of remembering, a scent, a sound, a taste, becomes a form of selfhood. Though every Latino country is distinct, we find ourselves inside one another’s memories. This is an invitation to share that space 💌 Galleria Objets 92 Brick Lane, London E1 6RL June 20th- 17:00-21:00 June 21st- 11:00-16:00 Make sure to keep an eye out for more information on the programming for both days 👀 we have some exciting reveals coming.

Introducing Kai Thaís @kaithais As she fragments, transmutes and references the body, Kai Thaís (B. 2003) works in creating encounters with ‘alternate bodies’. Her work is informed by the experience of feminine, queer and chronically ill body in the context of colonial Caribbean. Where the body and the territory are objects of control, commerce, legislation. Both sites are sterilized, contested and hold memory. The body turns into a stage, a house, or the stretch of land. The transformation of the body as territory becomes an exercise in freedom and an imaginary of decolonization, where borders are uncertain and changeable. With a sculptural practice based in image, found object, textile, and performance, her object-making is accompanied by research on feminist, posthuman, and decolonial theory. Giving form to the encounters through the tactile experience and material identity of her work. A photograph fragments the form. Textiles play on the feminine, insecurity, and vulnerability tied to the social roots of working with fabric and family history. In comparison, found objects are recipients of environment/subject encounters. They offer a rich array of textures in dialogue with skin, scars. Integrating these mediums explores the fluidity of identity and perception of the self.

PUT TO WORK April 16th-19th Private View April 16th, 6-9pm When we think of our bodies we think of them as our own: organs and energy, flesh and emotions, breath and motion. Our bodies are also tools: we control our movements and take care of the inputs and outputs. Others see them as tools as well. The company owner who sees a laborer, the man on the street who sees a woman's figure as his for the taking, a security camera that sees data points as we move through the streets. As much as our bodies are OUR OWN, they are being used by others frequently - with and without our knowledge. Put to Work aims to explore the daily instances that our bodily autonomy is compromised and the impact of, and reaction to, this reality. We are looking for artists whose work explores this topic and those associated with it. The exhibition explores this theme through the eyes of 14 different artists across multiple mediums. We hope to see you at the private view!!
