Tree of Life in the State of Decay and Rebirth, 2019

Cian Dayrit

Embroidery on textile

190,5 x 165 cm

Dayrit’s embroidered textile works plot how histories of oppression relate to the politics of the present. They hang as powerful representations of ongoing resistance movements, informed by the experience of colonialism and its aftermath in his native Philippines, while speaking to wider global struggles.

Made in collaboration with Henry Caceres.
