Bunker Talks: Shori Sims in Conversation with Harrison Kinnane Smith

In her essay "In some far off place, I'll wait for you" Cybernature and the Preservation of Space , published in the Bunker Review's Hand-Off series, Sims advocates Black cyber-feminism in the face of late-stage capitalism's disregard of nature. Sims positions nature a historical place of respite and communion for the oppressed, and presents "cybernature" as a the new frontier in anti-capitalist, communal freedom. Watch the virtual conversation with Sims about her essay and how she addresses these themes in her art.

A Review of Maybe We Can Rest Here

​​by Brigid Moser

"The space serves as a potential resting ground for an exhaustive portrayal of life and labor. While the walls teem with canvases, paper, and wood panels exploding with color and rolling textures that vibrate with an energy that borders on chaotic, the gallery space holds a promise of repose."

"In some far off place, I'll wait for you."
​Cybernature and the Preservation of Space

by Shori Sims

"In the Anthropocene, nature has gone from a think that acts upon us to a think that we too have the power to act upon — creating new forms of Space or void that can be host to slews of possibilities."
