The Bakery Atlanta presents A Body for Hunger and Desire, Too, a group exhibition curated by MN Nunes. Opening September 12, 2024, the exhibition will feature drawings, reliefs, installation, painting, sculpture, performance, and lens-based work to engage with the ways we reach for sustenance in the face of authority’s systemic denial. A Body for Hunger and Desire, Too converses with the connections between hunger, satiation, urgency, authority, and desire, abstracted and examined in their alignment with and against liberation.

Who holds the authority to make us desperate? What role does desire play in our rage? What is a body (of one, of many) to do with the cycles of hunger, unfufillment, anger, and desire? The work of Autumn Nelson, Eve Brown, Faith Fidgeon, Fatou Bessem, Jamil Fatti, Katy Beltrán, Kiara Gilbert, Hannah Helton, Hiroko Kelly, and Stephanie Howard converge together to present a response. 

Attendees are encouraged to make a donation in lieu of an RSVP, although entrance is always free. Sixty percent of the donations will support Sol Underground's abolitionist efforts, while forty percent will help The Bakery Atlanta continue promoting equitable arts ecosystems. Your contribution not only secures your spot but also helps sustain vital community initiatives.

Opening reception will be September 12th from 6 pm to 9 pm.

Work will be on view during gallery hours the 13th through 17th.
