13 Hats is a collective of eleven visual artists and writers who came together in 2011 in Portland, Oregon, to pursue interdisciplinary work and creative dialogue through collaboration.

The work on view at SOIL – including photography, painting, visual poetry, mixed media, sculpture, video, and the inaugural issue of The Feralist, a 36-page full-color journal of West Coast literature and art – was developed specifically for this exhibition, through a multivalent collaborative process. The group assembled, split, and reconvened in various combinations, and projects evolved through relational contexts and sensibilities. The exhibition is a curated selection from that ongoing process, along with various forms of documentation that are themselves exploratory works.
