Hello everyone,
On behalf of the entire team, I would like to warmly invite you to join us
this evening live from NYC via Zoom (7pm ET / 4pm PT) for our weekly free
and interactive tour.
This week’s is: #109 Considering Art: Considering Fabric - featuring urgent
work by Zohra Opoku.
Zohra Opoku (she/her)
<https://marianeibrahim.com/artists/33-zohra-opoku/biography/> examines the
politics of personal identity formation through historical, cultural, and
socio-economic influences, particularly in the context of contemporary
Ghana.
Opoku's explorations have been mostly through the lens of her camera; Her
photography is expressed through screen-printing and alternative photo
processing on varieties of natural fabrics. She repeatedly integrates
family heirlooms and her own self-image into her visual observations of
Ghana’s cultural memory. Her practice centers around textiles and
traditional Ghanaian dress codes, which have been an inherent part of the
country’s identity and industry throughout West Africa’s complex history.
In this tour, we embark on some close looking.
Together we ask: What do you see?
