The US premiere of Gabrielle Goliath’s (South African, b. 1983) acclaimed, ongoing video series Personal Accounts (2024–25) responds to the impacts of patriarchal violence in a range of global contexts from Johannesburg to Kyiv. Intimately documenting survivor testimonials, in collaboration with the contributors, the artist has withheld narrative speech within the videos, instead portraying the moments in between participants’ recounts: breaths, sighs, cries, humming, and even laughter. Goliath’s sonic cycles trouble false binaries of the ‘voiced’ and ‘voiceless,’ revealing the enormity of what can be conveyed in moments of perceived silence.
Artist Ayoung Kim (Korean, b. 1979) presents the US debut of her Delivery Dancer trilogy, renowned video installations presented for the first time together.

As part of the upcoming Greater New York survey, Flushing, Queens-based collective Red Canary Song presents their Homeroom project Touch the Heart. The grassroots collective is led by migrant massage and sex workers across the Asian diaspora, and formed in 2017 in response to the death of Yang Song, a migrant Chinese massage worker killed during a police raid in Queens. Advocating for essential safety measures, they protested against police violence and argued for the decriminalization of unlicensed massage labor and sex work. Since then, Red Canary Song has expanded into a mutual aid network that foregrounds the experiences of directly impacted workers, providing groceries, cash assistance, translation services, and connection to legal support and person-first health care. Amid ongoing raids and mass deportations, Red Canary Song continues to organize across shifting conditions of visibility.
