Can evasion, insistence on privacy, and opting out facilitate freedom? Drawing from science fiction, “Dark Forest Theory” (DFT) suggests that civilizations (such as extraterrestrial life) hide in order to preserve themselves. Through a variety of media including sculpture, painting, video, installation, performance, and sound—this group exhibition, featuring an intergenerational group of artists across the Ezra and Cecile Zilkha Gallery, an online radio station, an online TV station, and a zine explores how this theory, when merged with Black critical theory, creates the possibility for individuals to gain agency through concealment.
