GWSS Chair and Professor Sasha Su-Ling Welland contributed to the Henry Art Gallery’s current exhibition, A.K. Burns: What is Perverse is Liquid, on view through April 27, 2025. Her reflection, Transoformation, is featured in the interpretive guide created for the exhibit and responds to the artwork Untitled (Grain). The piece appears alongside contributions from artists, scholars, and curators who offer a range of responses to works in the show.
Burns’s multimedia exhibition explores feminist and queer perspectives through video, sculpture, and installation, delving into the interconnections between human bodies, landscapes, and water. The exhibition is part of Burns’s Negative Space series (2015–2023), a nonlinear sci-fi–inflected narrative that challenges hierarchies and reimagines social and environmental relations from the vantage point of the marginalized.
