Скачать или смотреть Trailer: The imaginative dialogues in the art of Shanequa Gay

We visited artist Shanequa Gay in her studio, to talk about her work in different mediums. As an artist, her work evaluates place, tradition, storytelling and subject matter to develop imaginative dialogues and alternative strategies for self-imaging. “Through installations, paintings, performance, video, and monumental sculptural figures, I am fabricating environments of ritual and memorial, depicting amalgamated images of familiar iconography, new gods, and mythical figures whose lives have been impacted by systemic inequalities. By developing counter and re-imagined narratives that live within the duality of physical and spiritual worlds, I am exploring the historical and contemporary social concerns of hybrid cultures, through the gaze of the female progenitor, and how these cultures have often been rendered invisible and their identities denied”.
