Muna Mussie – Oblio/Gold

Mostra personale.

Comunicato stampa

OBLIO / Gold is an expansion of Mussie's recent projects Oblio (2021) and Oblio/Pianto del Muro (2022), which introduce her research on public art. Through the use of gold thread, her aim is to bring light to and deconstruct colonial narratives. Referencing her project, Foro Foro (2022), Mussie will continue the use of Braille and textile art/embroidery to highlight the visible, invisible and tactile.

The exhibition opening will feature the sale of items by local social tailoring project Coloriage. Coloriage's migrants and refugee tailors participated in Mussie’s Oblio/Pianto del Muro performance in 2022.
