By My Own Hand, Part 3: THE ACHE
October 19 - November 5th at PICA
THE ACHE is the third installment of Allie Hankins’ five-part performance series of projects entitled By My Own Hand. Developed in collaboration with Hannah Krafcik, THE ACHE takes shape as 1) a video exhibition, 2) a publication release, and 3) a series of free intergenerational art-making workshops facilitated by local artists dee bustos, Muffie Delgado-Connelly, Midori Hirose, and Ralph Pugay. THE ACHE calls attention to the myriad of ways selfhood can be constituted and remixed through creative acts of self-determination, exploring the tension between points of distinction and gradients of interrelation. It was conceived out of a desire to create more crossover between artistic field-based microcosms, to share knowledge of mediums, explore overlaps and divergences across practices, and to embolden artistic exploration of self by anyone at any age.
