Taboo. Fetish. Hybrid. Obsession. Bizarre. Whispers From the Corner of My Eye invites the undercurrent out of the periphery. The work highlights narratives of the untold  and the ephemeral, displaying unconventional bodies and uplifting unheard voices. After exploring Adriano Pedrosa’s theme, Foreigners Everywhere, the artists unearthed a suppressed desire to engage with the subliminal, recognizing it as foreign or ‘other’. Through photography, painting, printmaking, sculpture, and textiles, some pieces prompt somber reflection while others take a more playful perspective. Each artwork is uniquely striking, yet when woven together they generate a visceral conversation about systemically silenced issues.
