Alter Heroes Coalition at Mimosa House, London
Mimosa House in London presents 'Alter Heroes Coalition', a group exhibition curated by director Daria Khan exploring the concept of alter egos and unconventional heroism. The show features artists from diverse geographies, including Tomaso Binga, Adrian Piper, Yolanda López, Gery Georgieva, Leah Capaldi, Cibelle Cavalli Bastos, Gisèle Gordon, Kent Monkman, Tabita Rezaire, and Super Sohrab – Super Taus. Works challenge gender norms, cultural displacement, and identity through photography, video, and performance. Binga's 1978 marriage ceremony to herself, Piper's reflection on anger in 1970s America, and López's reimagining of the Virgin of Guadalupe are key pieces. The exhibition runs until December 15, 2018 at 12 Princes Street, Mayfair.
