Maps

Betty Yu - Sari Carel

Curated by Klaudia Ofwona Draber

As part of an artist residency at KODA

FiveMyles presents Maps, a two-person exhibition with Betty Yu and Sari Carel.

Betty Yu’s Mapping Indigenous Black and Asian Resilience and Resistance uncovers stories from Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn that date back 500 years, the original ancestral lands of the Lenape nation respectfully.

Harkening back to the time when art and natural sciences were intimately intertwined, Sari Carel's project is inspired by the 19th century artist/scientist Anna Atkins. Her series, City Of Trees, focuses on the reciprocal relationship between New-Yorkers and the leafy community of trees we share our city with, while exploring a unique map dedicated to the city's urban forest.

The exhibition is a part of an artist residency at KODA.
