CARA New York

Visual identity is based on the concept of porosity and absorption. Together with CARA researchers and curators, the vibrant pores aim to expand public discourses and historical records to reflect art’s abundant pasts, presents, and futures. The hybrid relational logotype—full of breathable holes—has the capacity to challenge dominant narratives by facilitating knowledge about shifting mechanisms of oppression and the realities of racial capitalism. Shells and snails let us dream not only about ourselves but about each other, about beings of the forest, of water, of animals, of invisible beings—as porous interdependent entities reliant on each other and everything around.
