Latest Artist in Residence
Yves B. Golden’s The Burden

Yves B. Golden’s The Burden

We’re thrilled to announce the opening of our latest Artist In Residence exhibit this fall — a collection of sculptural works and a series of programs by Yves B. Golden, curated by Seta Morton. The Burden draws it’s title from a negro spiritual “Down by the Riverside,” an apt title for Golden, whose body of work both attends and surrenders to the fluidity of water and, with this exhibition, demands demilitarization. Within the traditions of Black feminist pedagogy as transformative praxis, The Burden aims to soften our senses while sharpening our teeth and tongues around the shape of disarmament.

About FCCW’s Artist In Residence Program

​FCCW’s Artists-in-Residence is a multidisciplinary program that presents new work by women, trans, and nonbinary artists. The program takes the shape of a three-month residency within the organization, where artists are provided with the structural and material support, as well as dedicated time from all FCCW staff. Residencies culminate in an exhibition (or other form of public presentation) and a series of public programs developed with the artist that provide insight into their process and influences.

Artists are selected through an invitation process led by our programming director, Mandy Harris Williams. We are most invested in artists that engage contemporary, intersectional feminist topics and ways of working. Most artist residents are local to Los Angeles County, or have a significant connection to the place, culture, or context of Southern California. Additionally, we prioritize work that has components of social activation and community engagement.

In general, throughout all avenues of our work, we are attempting to confront what bell hooks called “white-supremecist capitalist patriarchy.” For us this means prioritizing artists who are marginalized by this system, including women, trans and nonbinary artists, queer artists, artists of color, and those with disabilities, as well as more invisible marginalizations around, for example, chronic illness, trauma, class and/or immigration/citizenship status.

Between immersive multimedia installations, alternative co-learning frameworks, and collaborative performances, projects have probed wide-ranging issues from prison abolition and third-culture identity, to parental labor and familial lines across diasporic experiences.
