About the Exhibition
Light as Resistance is an exhibition of paintings, drawings, video, and a site-specific wall painting by Hilma’s Ghost, an artist collective formed by Dannielle Tegeder and Sharmistha Ray. Influenced by spiritual and esoteric knowledge systems, histories of abstraction, and research recovering the legacies of overlooked women artists, their name pays homage to the Swedish mystic and painter Hilma af Klint, who is now recognized as one of the first abstract artists in Western art history. Working collaboratively—with one another, with spiritual practitioners, and with unseen energies—the collective incorporates practices like ritual, divination, automatic drawing, and color magic into their artmaking process.
