Hands Up, Ass Out, Curated by Shehab Awad as Executive Care, is New York based artist Keioui Keijaun Thomas' first long-form exhibition, and the culmination of a body of work six years in the making, from 2014–2020.
About
Amassed from iterations of writing, image-making, performances, and choreographies, Hands Up, Ass Out showcases Keioui's journey toward self-affirmed transcendence from the tokenization that exploits and oppresses young, talented, and femme black bodies.
Executive Care is an all-encompassing agency at the service of artists founded by Shehab Awad in 2020.
