Eso Tilín is proud to present The Pliable and the Brittle, a group exhibition that brings together a diverse group of artists who have worked/will work with Eso Tilín, but more importantly explore the various ways in which knowledge can be understood, constructed, and validated across different cultures, disciplines, and contexts.

Influenced by the concept of “epistemological diversity,” found in the work of Puerto Rican philosopher and sociologist Ramón Grosfoguel, this exhibition emphasizes the importance of recognizing and valuing multiple knowledge systems—especially during periods of change and crisis. During such times, hegemonic systems, justified by the pursuit of order and stability, often enforce a single dominant culture, eroding cultural and intellectual diversity as alternative groups and perspectives are pressured to conform to dominant norms.

The works featured in this exhibition challenge the notion that there is a single, universal way of knowing or a hierarchy of knowledge systems where one is inherently superior to others. Instead it celebrates diversity as a way to resist cultural calcification.

Eso Tilín

Eso tilín is Atlanta’s smallest gallery curated and operated by Sergio Suarez. It seeks to give artists space to push their work in surprising directions, bypassing material and spatial constraints. Its goal is to venture out into various parts of Atlanta to bridge artists and communities, activating public spaces and re-framing the art viewing experience. Eso Tilin is a recipient of the 2022 Nexus Fund/Andy Warhol Foundation Regranting Program, the 2023 Arts & Entertainment Grant for Downtown Atlanta & 2023 Idea Capital Grant.
