Electric Slide

Palermo · 2025
Electric Slide presented works by Mose T., Anna Zett, Eva Seufert, and Agatha Wara at fragile pa in Palermo, Italy. Taking its title from a 1980s painting by Alabamian artist Mose T., the exhibition followed gestures of repetition, decline, protest, and cultural afterlife across moving image, painting, textile, object, and language. Set within a domestic residency space, the exhibition traced how symbols, bodies, and images continue to circulate after the conditions that produced them have begun to shift, erode, or disappear.

TV Snacks & a Spirit Box

Doom Spa, Berlin · 2024
TV Snacks & a Spirit Box presented smaller-scale works by Charlie “The Tin Man” Lucas, born in 1951 in Pink Lily, Alabama, at Doom Spa in Berlin. Including paintings from the ongoing TV Snacks series, an assemblage work from his Spirit Box series, and an audio piece based on a conversation with Lucas, the exhibition marked his first solo presentation outside the United States. Bringing together found materials, autobiographical memory, inherited craft traditions, and Southern self-taught art histories, it situates his practice as an ongoing transformation of lived experience through material, memory, and inherited craft.

The Social Dance

Harmony Club, Selma, Alabama · 2024
The Social Dance presented moving-image works by James Gregory Atkinson, Lasse Lau & Flo Maak, Valentin Noujaïm, and Anna Zett at the historic Harmony Club in Selma, Alabama. As hyphae collaborative network’s inaugural event, the program brought together films concerned with communal expression, self-empowerment, disappearing histories, and the social spaces through which communities gather, navigate pressure, and sustain collective memory. The event took place in a building long shaped by dance, cinema, preservation, and public life in Selma.
