The Center For Post-Capitalist History, a fictitious museum existing through para-fictional intervention, proposes the creation of new methods of understanding history after the fall of Capitalism. In the institution’s vision, the body should be understood as a valuable archive of information that can reorient our understanding of knowledge production and the writing of history, and allow us to prioritize care and mutual aid in a proposed future after the Capitalocene.
The CPCH was created by artist Leah Sandler (born 1992), an interdisciplinary artist, writer and educator based in Orlando, Florida. She graduated with a Bachelor of Arts from Rollins College in 2014 and a Master of Fine Arts from University of the Arts in 2017. Recent exhibitions include the Corridor Project Billboard Exhibition, the 2020 Florida Biennial, Interstice at MOTOR (curated by the Residency Project) Los Angeles, CA, Utopian/Vermilion, a solo exhibition at ParkHaus15 in Orlando, FL, and CPCH Staging Area, a solo exhibition at Laundromat Art Space in Miami. Sandler’s writing and projects have been featured in publications including Textur Magazine, Salat Magazin, SPECS Journal, and Mapping Meaning Journal. She is the author of The Center For Post-Capitalist History’s Field Guide to Embodied Archiving, published by Burrow Press, released in September 2021.
