Superficial Paradise

“…Eerily reminiscent of the collective dread shared by many in November 2016 -- as we braced ourselves in face of GOP onslaught -- Brinkley connects this “universal elemental shock” to the need for temporary but extreme departure from everyday constraints. Superficial Paradise explores the relationship between escapism and nostalgia. Yesenia Bello, Cameron Clayborn, Verónica Casado Hernández, Rebecca Himelstein, Daniel Hojnacki, and Nicole Mauser explore the multiplicities of experience, both personal and collective, looking backward and forward and ask ‘what was’ and ‘what if’ of our uncertain futures.”
