Remixed: Entwined Histories and New Forms explores the “remixes” in both physical objects and immaterial legacies. In this exhibition, materials are conduits for spirit, memory, and history. Artists do not simply use these materials; they listen to them, speaking with, not for, across time and space. Just as musical remixes blur the lines between eras and genres, these visual remixes challenge divisions of mediums, cultures, and hierarchies of art. Anthony Olubunmi Akinbola “paints” with a swarm of stretched, stitched fabrics, whilst Adia Millet “quilts” with paint. Through memory-laden materials, the artists of Remixed reveal that tradition is neither static nor fixed. It is a living current—pulsing with the insistent collective energy of a bassline; its drift shifted by the remix.
