FINA450 - Jessica Karuhanga
Several classes at ACAD were treated to an hour long virtual presentation with Canadian artist Jessica Karuhanga. From her website:
Jessica Karuhanga is a first-generation Canadian artist of British-Ugandan heritage whose work addresses issues of cultural politics of identity and Black diasporic concerns through lens-based technologies, writing, drawing and performances. Through her practice she explores individual and collective concerns of Black subjectivity: illness, rage, grief, desire and longing within the context of Black embodiment.
I appreciated Jessica's real talk on self-funding and hustle it takes to create projects, especially video ones. You can watch her videos on Vimeo.
