Sliced Realities is a solo exhibition by Zhanna Kadyrova that positions the artists' anti-war practice in dialogue with the German writer Thomas Mann, whose history of political resistance raises enduring questions about the role of art in times of crisis. Presented one year after the devastating Pacific Palisades fires and four years after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, this exhibition invites viewers to consider how art and resilience are intimately intertwined. Sliced Realities presents Kadyrova’s first solo presentation in the United States, in advance of her representation of Ukraine at this year year’s Venice Biennale.
