About (after)care
No Longer Empty Curatorial Lab (NLE Lab) is pleased to present (after)care, a site-responsive exhibition and series of programs in Room CG-95 at NYC Health+Hospitals/Kings County in East Flatbush, Brooklyn. 

(after)care re-envisions a former emergency waiting room, a space often associated with anxiety and fear, as a site of remembrance, possibility, and celebration of radical care—both within and beyond hospital walls. The exhibition takes its name from the process of transitioning out of institutional medical care and back into one’s home and community. Looking beyond the constraints of traditional healthcare systems, the artists in (after)care expand definitions of care in the present, while memorializing the failures of the past and moving towards a more radical future.

(after)care features works by Pamella Allen, Bobby Anspach, Quinci Baker, Chloë Bass, Damien Davis, Diane Exavier, Kearra Amaya Gopee, Charlie Gross, Kathryn Ko, Taja Lindley, Jenny Polak, Malik Roberts, Sol Sax, Tattfoo Tan, Larry Weekes, and Ezra Wube. 

Free, public programs throughout the course of the exhibition will focus on themes of mental health and accessibility, professional development for Flatbush artists, and exhibition tours provided by NLE Lab curators and Y.Ex. 

Each Saturday of the exhibition, free, all ages art-making workshops will be led by Brooklyn-based artists — assisted by Y.Ex — and will include silk screening and zine-making.

Creative Force Conversation with Artist, ShavonWilkins

Based on true events how one woman beat the odds of psychological, emotional and a grave disorder to commit suicide; after the murder of her 31 year old son and how she persevered through it all.

While loving someone else. Who wasn't loving her back during her grieving process.  Amazingly. She still has the will to love.

Through faith, hope and forgiveness she's still standing through it all and justice was prevailed.
