April 8th is the last day to visit the Attica NOW exhibition at Buffalo Arts Studio! Attica NOW is the culmination of CALDODECULTIVO‘s four month research residency as part of the Displacement: Reclaiming Place, Space, and Memory exhibition program.

“Currently based in Buffalo, NY, CaldodeCultivo is a Spanish-Colombian art collective founded by Unai Reglero and Gabriela Córdoba in 2006. CaldodeCultivo addresses conflicts of a global nature that manifest in the local realm. Using different artistic languages, from public installation to video, the collective creates devices of counter-information, agitation, and provocation that work as catalysts for dissent.

During their residency, CaldodeCultivo examined the 1971 Attica uprising, which left 43 people dead, almost all of them killed by law enforcement officers retaking the prison. Attica NOW places the current conditions of prisons and detention centers at the center of their project and identifies incarcerated people, both past and present, as political subjects.”
