Mimi Bai, Camouflage test, 2019. BRIC Open Studios takes place on August 1, 2019.
Artist and photographer Zalika Azim, an alum of the Department of Photography & Imaging, will join the other Summer 2019 Artists-in-Residence in the BRIC Open Studios in Brooklyn, NY on August 1, 2019. The Open House/Open Studios event will take place at BRIC House and the visual artist studio's at Saint Ann's School (33 Clinton St). Zalika and the BRICworkspace residency artists will open the doors to their studios to the general public that evening.
BRIC House is Brooklyn’s cultural living room: a 40,000 square foot multi-disciplinary arts and media complex in the former Strand Theatre, where emerging and established artists can create work that deepens their practice and engages the diverse communities of the borough.
Zalika Azim (b.1990) is a New York based artist conceptualizing her practice through photography, installation and collage. Exploring the mechanisms of personal and collective narratives, her work investigates the ways in which memory, migration, movement and the body are negotiated within the American landscape. In considering how domestic ephemera and language become charged with intelligence beyond what is immediately apparent, Azim’s totemic juxtapositions set out to exist in a liminal state that mines spatial, temporal, and ancestral knowledges.
