Frida Orupabo,
‘12 self portraits’
@ Sant'Andrea De Scaphis
—
“Denuding and
dismembering the
multifarious legacies
of colonialism,
controverting its still-
engrained narratives of
race, gender, and
ownership...”
Born:
1986 — Sarpsborg,
Norway.
‘12 self portraits’:
Centered on the
artist's renowned
collages, this new
series by Orupabo
sees her abandoning
the squared-off picture
plane, and opting instead
for free-floating forms
— some hung on the
wall, others presented
as free-standing
sculptures.
“Historical photographs
of black women provide
her not only source
material and subject
matter, but first-person
narrators as well...”
