CYBER HEALING, curated by Kiara Cristina Ventura of ARTSYWINDOW, is an exhibition that explores how Latinx and Afro-Latinx artists are healing via feminine energy and digital space. As many of us during the COVID-19 pandemic are deepening our relationships with the digital world, this exhibition raises our contemporary connectivity with the online and social media world to the surface and dissects how we have collectively curated and sourced from online spaces to create discourse, educate, empower, and serve us. Therefore, the digital world of healing has come into fruition within the last decades to be used a tool and has quickly bloomed during 2020 with more creatives seeking to aid one another and themselves. Ranging from video to mixed media to sculpture, the exhibition raises themes speaking to visibility, feminism, queerness, reclamation of the body, decolonization, spirituality, and ultimately how these themes educate and serve healing processes.
