About this Event
"As a Tanzanian-Nigerian collage artist, I chose to break away from my formal architecture background to create a practice that highlights the experiences of people like me. My work depicts Black life reframed and reimagined, emphasizing Black joy through a multidimensional use of cutouts, layered paper, acrylic paints, gold leaf, and mixed media.
In "Wunderland Noir," I combine contrasting textures, luxurious materials, and carefully selected cultural elements and regional flora to symbolize resilience and interconnectedness. These elements enrich the narrative of growth and inclusivity, sparking conversations around the multilayered experiences of Black bodies, including my own.
Drawing inspiration from Afrofuturism and Tanzanian culture, I explore themes of identity, race, gender, rest, love, family, community, and resilience. By celebrating growth and inclusivity, I invite art-lovers and collectors to immerse themselves in my unique artistic vision, challenging societal norms and embracing the transformative power of creative expression." - Marryam Moma
