Serena JV Elston is a curator and artist whose work interrogates the relationship between the body and structures of power. Her exhibitions explore themes of ecology, posthumanism, disability, and embodiment through an intersectional, post-colonial lens. Working with artists that experience chronic illness and disability, Serena focuses on platforming experiences of the oppression of bodies. Through her curatorial projects she examines the fragile interdependence of bodies and institutions, reframing disability as a site of resistance. Elston’s exhibitions challenge colonial legacies of labor and wellness, creating spaces that foster radical reimaginations of society and care.
