    Sonic Womb: Leaving Gender on the Dance Floor

    June 24, 2026- August 16, 2025

    Feminist FUTURES Fellow Presented Sonic Womb: Leaving Gender on the Dance Floor, a two-part exhibition series at PES FUTURES(128 Baxter Street) in Chinatown from April 23rd to June 7th and June 25th to August 16thSonic Womb seeks to replicate the subterranean refuge of both the mythological underwater kingdom of Drexciya and the underground clubs of 1970’s New York City within two site-specific installations by Billy and Jesús Hilario-Reyes. The second installation, on atmospherics by Jesús Hilario-Reyes, takes up “edging” or “edge worlds” as a framework for understanding both the ecstatic potentiality of the club and the adaptive nature of the mangrove – spaces where “the bounds of the individual and the environment are indistinguishable.”
