Exhibition: I’ve grown tired / I’ve grown hopeful at Brixton House - part of CASA's Lines of Flight art programme
Featuring works by Daniel Bernal, enorê, Elena Saraceni and María Joranko, the exhibition explores how experiences of displacement shape artistic practice.
The exhibition runs until 22 May at Brixton House, London, as part of Transnational Encounters, the May chapter of Lines of Flight, CASA’s ongoing multi-arts programme rooted in Latinx and Caribbean diasporic perspectives.
CASA presents I’ve grown tired / I’ve grown hopeful, a group exhibition at Brixton House bringing together artists Daniel Bernal, enorê, Elena Saraceni and María Joranko.
Curated by Gabriela Román González and Tatiana Martínez Collevati, the exhibition considers how experiences of displacement, sometimes forced, sometimes chosen, shape artistic sensibility over time. Rather than addressing migration as a fixed identity, the works approach it as a condition that quietly transforms perception, material choices and ways of making.
Across sculpture, installation and ceramic practices, the artists trace a shared tension between exhaustion and hope. Their works carry the marks of pressure, corrosion and repetition, while also holding gestures of belief and persistence. Materials remain unstable: oxidised steel surfaces continue to change, suspended structures suggest fragile systems of support, and digitally scanned bodies reappear in fragmented ceramic forms.
Rather than offering a unified narrative, the exhibition unfolds through contradiction. It reflects on what it means to live across languages, histories and systems of belief, where continuous translation becomes part of one’s internal landscape. In this context, exhaustion and hope are not opposites, but coexisting conditions that shape how meaning is sought and sustained.
I’ve grown tired / I’ve grown hopeful runs at Brixton House until 22 May, as part of Transnational Encounters, the May chapter of Lines of Flight, CASA’s ongoing multi-arts programme offering a space for experimentation and transnational exchange rooted in Latinx and Caribbean diasporic perspectives.
