ABOUT

Project Project is pleased to announce the opening reception of Like You featuring new work by Nancy Friedemann-Sánchez. Like You recounts and examines a life uprooted, a clash/combination of culture and the relationship between emigration and invasion, all through a dynamic feminist lens. Please join us in celebrating this incredible artistic voice.

The opening reception will be Friday, November 11th from 6 PM - 10 PM. Post-reception viewings will be available by appointment from November 12 through December 3. For more info, please contact us at projectprojectomaha@gmail.com.

From the artist:

Anchored in feminism, my art is infused by American and Colombian cultural forms that are dominant or subordinate. My art is a bicultural and transcultural experience; it speaks of difference, of opposites. Having grown up in Colombia and having migrated to the US as an adult, I make art in two languages about the curious and intense experience of physically having migrated, yet having a piece of myself remaining rooted in Colombia. I create visual expressions of that trans-culturation that have taken place since the conquest of the Americas and that gets replicated in the migration experience.

The work proposed represents parts of the third chapter of a multi-narrative visual novel I have been working on about cultural memory, migration and the pursuit of the American dream. The installations consist of drawings, sculptures, objects and mixed media that together and in different voices weave a synchronicity of dialogues, passages, punctuations, silences about hybridity and cultural ownership. Some images reference Minimalism and Spanish Colonial Painting as dominant ideological umbrellas. By including family heirlooms alongside carved wood boats, I create environments that are compelling and recreate narratives that describe lives of spiritual and physical transit.

Project Project is curated by Joel Damon and Josh Powell.
