Step into an exhibition where myth, material and speculation shape distinct ways of experiencing contemporary life.
Presented by CASA in collaboration with Not The Owners and Brixton House
Curated by Gabriela Román González and Tatiana Martínez Collevati
Bringing together works by Daniel Bernal, Elena Saraceni, enorê and María Joranko, I’ve grown tired / I’ve grown hopeful presents a range of artistic practices shaped by different experiences of contemporary life.
Across installation, sculpture and speculative approaches, the exhibition moves between material experimentation, conceptual inquiry and embodied ways of working. These practices do not offer a single perspective, but open up multiple ways of sensing and responding to the conditions that shape the present.
Taking its cue from the tension in its title, the exhibition holds together different registers, at times reflective, at times critical, exploring how artistic form emerges through friction, displacement and the negotiation of lived experience.
Part of Lines of Flight
This exhibition is part of Transnational Encounters, a chapter of Lines of Flight, CASA’s multi-arts programme at Brixton House exploring how artistic practices are shaped across movement, exchange and lived experience.

About the Artists
-
Colombian-born, London-based multidisciplinary artist working across sculpture, digital media and image-making. His practice combines material and digital experimentation with conceptual research informed by literature, philosophy, cinema and ethnographic methods. Through his work, he reflects on self-representation, socio-environmental concerns and gendered experience, while examining the structures that shape contemporary life.
-
Elena is a Venezuelan artist born in Argentina and based in London. A Central Saint Martins graduate and current Royal College of Art resident, she has developed a self-taught contemporary practice shaped by a multidisciplinary background across art, design, textiles, fashion, craft and tech. Raised across five countries, her work draws on migration, multicultural heritage and neurodivergent experience. Through textiles, sculpture, installation, embroidery and found objects, she translates informal elements into formal languages, creating material reflections on identity, perception and shifting realities.
-
Brazilian artist basen in London, working with digital and material practices to examine the entanglements between virtuality and physical embodiment. Primarily working with 3D printed ceramics, they use clay as a catalyst to question how digital data can be mediated through physical processes, with an interest in clay’s potentiality as a pervasive and highly temporal material. This is developed by exploring the fluidity between multiple realms, not only limited to physical or digital, and observing the shapes that the translations between these systems take.
-
Guatemalan/American multimedia artist and vocalist based in London. She creates installations, performances, video and sound through merging digital and handdone processes. Deeply influenced by speculative worlds, storytelling, and the gothic, her oeuvre is characterized by a strong connection to the chthonic and political.
