Divine Rest Nests: An Invitation
May 22 - September 1, 2025 @ BMoCA
This immersive and liberatory exhibition offers the invitation to experience the powerful concept of rest as resistance and reclamation of imagination and dreams. Through ethereal artist activations and installations, the viewer will be transported to sacred and healing rest nests where they can surrender, release, and restore from the cacophony of noise beyond the museum walls. Intentional community programming will anchor dreams and visions of what is alchemized through rest portals and support this journey of restoration, love, and liberation.
Guest curated by Cristina Aguilar
