(Re)assemblage
The 2025 EFA SHIFT Cohort Exhibition
June 12 – July 26, 2025
EFA Gallery
323 West 39 Street, FL 3, New York, NY
EFA Studios is proud to present (Re)assemblage, the culminating exhibition of the 2025 SHIFT Residency program. Featuring work by DaeQuan Alexander Collier, Stephen Lau, Hawu Lim, and DW Zinsser, the exhibition will be on view in the EFA Studios Gallery from June 12 through July 26, 2025. Organized by independent curator Sophia Ma in collaboration with curatorial mentee Danielle Mann, this exhibition marks the fifteenth anniversary of the SHIFT Residency.
Named after Trinh T. Minh-ha’s seminal 1982 film, (Re)assemblage explores the politics of grief, memory, and identity through material fragments, ritual gestures, and poetic systems of making. Each artist approaches their practice as a site of negotiation—with loss, with family, with the violence of assimilation and erasure—transforming everyday materials into deeply intentional acts of assembly. Across sculpture, video, drawing, sound, and soft installation, they offer not answers but openings: spaces to gather, to grieve, to begin again, and to be visible and present.

Since its inception in 2010, SHIFT Residency has been providing peer support, mentoring, studio spaces, and exhibition opportunities for over ninety artists who work in various arts organizations (as curators, educators, administrators, etc.), to advance their creative practices and to support the balance of their careers. SHIFT recognizes the contribution of arts workers to the art community, providing other individuals and the public with opportunities for growth and expansion. The SHIFT residency honors these artists’ commitment with a supportive, enriching, and collaborative environment.
SHIFT hosts a cohort of artists working in a range of media each year, from sound and installation to painting, performance, and social practice. In addition to its role as a support network, SHIFT promotes advocacy for arts workers and seeks to increase equity and representation within the field.
SHIFT Residency for Arts Workers 2025 is generously supported by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.
