¿SE ACULILLO? / Are you scared? (2017)

An exhibit of contemporary Latine / Latinx artists
October 1 – October 31, 2017
Curated by Benjamin Lundberg Torres Sanchez

¿Se aculillo? / Are you scared? was a one-month pop up exhibit in AS220’s Resident Gallery showcasing visual artists’ reckonings with fear: PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE.

The phrase. ¿Se aculillo?, is a Colombian taunt that roughly translates to, “Are you scared?” More literally, aculillo refers to a sensation of the body clenching or curling inward.
