Intrications

Part dreamscape, part fantasy, in the hours between dawns brings together practices that question, untangle, and reshape power structures and hegemonic narratives while imagining sensitive and plural futures. It presents the works of eleven artists or artist duos as poems from which possible horizons emerge. Through expressions of the body, the crafting of new narratives, acts of homage, or even the gesture of a caress, they pave the way for the light hidden in the darkest places. Glimmers in the darkness, chosen families, communities, and legacies become essential resources for the (re)construction of the self and the collective: at once a refuge and an ideal, a space for listening, belonging, emotions, and transformations. This weaves a poetic, fragmented archive in which the collective and the individual, the real and the speculative, converge.

IAC invites you to discover the exhibition in the hours between dawns at the opening evening, Thursday February 6, 2025 from 6:30pm.

Between vulnerability and power, in the hours between dawns seeks to rethink the boundaries of the visible and the audible, of survival and dreaming. Like Audre Lorde’s litany, it invites us to listen to those voices that whisper, sing, and persist in the interstices of day and night.
