This \u201csleep gap\u201d is attributed to familiar forms of institutional racism. Income inequality requires blacks to work longer hours for less pay. Discriminatory housing policies segregate blacks into over-crowded neighborhoods, where the nights are noisier and utilities are in worse condition. Over-policing and inordinately high incarceration rates produce anxieties that disrupt sleep patterns and impair the ability to be at ease when awake.<\/p>\n<p>Correlating the exhaustion tactics used to subjugate slaves with contemporary systems of exploitation and erosive fatigue, the artists offer this \u201cenergetic repair\u201d as a way to \u201creclaim laziness and idleness as power\u201d for those historically deprived of it.<\/p>\n<p><em>Black Power Naps\/Siestas Negras<\/em> is part of the exhibition <em>Where the Oceans Meet,\u00a0<\/em>curated by Hans Ulrich Obrist, Asad Raza, Gabriela Rangel, and Rina Carvajal.
