Curator:
Nava T. Barazani
The artist Zaudito Yosef-Seri, whose works explore her Ethiopian origins, wishes to examine whether after all these years, her intensive preoccupation with black presence in a white environment is still her own doing, or is she committed to the subject due to how she is defined by others. The works featured in Sama’ana investigate whether this focus is binding, flattening, and blurs the gamut of other identities she carries within her without allowing them to be heard.
