recrafted Histories: An Installation by Zahra Almajidi
recrafted Histories: An Installation by Zahra Almajidi uses both traditional and contemporary techniques in her work with craft objects. Pulling influence from her parents’ background as Marsh Arabs (in southern Iraq) forced to migrate and resettle, Almajidi takes folk art to another level. The objects she re/creates reflect both the original meaning and new stories we may see as viewers several steps removed.
