:iidrr presents Swallowed by the Light, a group exhibition showcasing the work of Matías Alvial, Joshua Ben-Dylan, Mara Corsino, Lloyd Foster, Gia Han, and Oji Haynes. Revolving around ideas of identity, mental health, and cultural relations between people, materiality, and states of being, the exhibition centers around the theme of illumination; its various iterations and the vast range of perspectives tied into interpretations across the tangible and intangible. How it can provide clarity to the misunderstood and reveal new viewpoints within both pop and subcultures. Scenes that have the potential to establish comfort and reinvigorate or tap into the senses in unpredictable ways. Adversely, the presence of illumination also alludes to hidden meanings - the concealed and what can be disregarded as inconsequential, lost, or mistreated.
