On this episode we're joined by Muna Malik - the multidisciplinary artist whose work spans photography, painting, and sculpture, to include a wide array of mediums that seek to create cultural awareness and understanding. Her work has also been featured in ArtForum and i-D Magazine.
Malik also explores the complexities and entanglements between individuals and communities. The two core interrelated strands to her practice are using abstraction to explore the variations and nuances of identity, and the second is creating platforms for community connection through interactive installations, sculpture, and photography.
While this episode - recorded in 2020 touches on her work with For Freedoms and it’s national campaigns throughout the US, Malik also participated in the Fountainhead Artist residency program in Miami. The month-long residency hosts artists from across the globe. Operating annually the Residency hosts 30-40 artists per year.
Malik, born in Yemen, is a first-generation, Black Yemeni immigrant, whose road to the arts came by way of her innate passion to help others.
