SARAH ZAPATA: AGAINST A STATE OF MALEVOLENCE
NOW ON VIEW
Check out The Bass’s newest exhibition, Sarah Zapata: Against a State of Malevolence, an immersive exploration of color, texture, movement and memory. Through monumental textile installations, Zapata draws from weaving traditions, architecture, q***r identity and her Peruvian heritage to create environments that transform textiles into tactile, emotional and deeply symbolic experiences.
Featuring Blue in the Hands of Prospect (2025) alongside A Famine of Hearing (2019), a recent acquisition for our permanent collection selected by Future Bass members, the exhibition traces the evolution of Zapata’s practice across handwoven textiles, tufting and sculptural forms. Moving between serene fields of blue and bold, saturated color, the installations invite visitors to step inside Zapata’s world and experience textile as something architectural, immersive and alive.
Organized by Jasa McKenzie, Associate Curator at The Bass.
Generously supported by The Forum of Fountainhead Arts.
