ON VIEW:
Yara El-Sherbini: Forms of Regulation and Control
Curated by Naeem Mohaiemen, FF Alumn
November 7 – December 15, 2020

CUE is pleased to present Forms of Regulation and Control, Yara El-Sherbini’s first solo exhibition in the U.S., curated by Naeem Mohaiemen. El-Sherbini’s practice draws upon interactive artworks, using humor and play to reveal the social systems that produce unconscious bias. Her gallery interventions untangle the ways our environments are regulated, and gesture toward the biases inherent in speech, visualization, and surveillance.
