MASS MoCA is pleased to present Zora J Murff: RACE/HUSTLE, curated by Terence Washington and the next exhibition to premiere as part of MASS MoCA’s Curatorial Exchange Initiative.  RACE/HUSTLE aims to demonstrate, through photographs, collages, and, for the first time, installation works, that the pursuit of liberation is, in part, a struggle against a desire for what merely mimics it. Murff makes photographs, assemblages, videos, and text works that examine physical, psychic, and political violence, the rhythms and resonances of oppression throughout history and into the present, and the harmful desires that our visual culture cultivates. Murff is particularly attentive to the structures of state violence. His project for MASS MoCA invites viewers to examine how systems of domination interlock and how their injurious effects are normalized and made invisible in everyday life.
