Fountain Street Gallery is pleased to present Fire in the Belly, a pop-up multimedia exhibition curated by Allison Maria Rodriguez. Running from September 28–October 2, 2022, the show will feature three beautiful and provocative works exploring the politicization of the body by artists Dell Marie Hamilton, Joanna Tam, and Georden West. The exhibition will include a live performance by Tam on Saturday, October 1 at 6 PM. Masking is required.

Dell Marie Hamilton has performed extensively throughout the New England area and is a recipient of the ICA/Boston’s 2021 Foster Prize. Her work has appeared in Hyperallergic, Art in America and Nka: Journal of Contemporary African Art as well as in the anthology AntiBlackness, edited by Moon-Kie Jung and João H. Costa Vargas which was published by Duke University Press in 2021.  Joanna Tam is a Hong Kong-born, Boston-based interdisciplinary artist. Using video, photography, performance, installation, and community engagement, her work examines the issues of migration, construction of national identity, the notion of home, and one\'s connection to a place. Georden West is a multimedia artist of limit-experiences and speculative openings. They are committed to curiosity. Their work places queer praxis and duration in dialogue, ideating around the liminal existences insinuated by archival silence. Curator Allison Maria Rodriguez is a first-generation Cuban-American interdisciplinary artist working predominantly in video installation. Her work focuses extensively on climate change, species extinction and the interconnectivity of existence.
