— The Exhibition
SPATIAL AWARENESS is a layered multimedia exhibition that explores interior worlds, mythologies, navigational tools, and resistance strategies of African diasporic origins. Featuring new works created while in residence at Ace Hotel New York, SPATIAL AWARENESS draws upon Santana’s written observations in addition to personal photographs captured during walks through Brooklyn and sourced from family archives to explore the intuitive link between the material and spiritual realms. Photographic images, patterns, and marks are layered and sequenced into cartographic forms that
evoke the subversive methods of survival necessitated by both recent American history and our current reality.
