Frida Orupabo: Closed Up Like A Fist
Nicola Vassell Gallery is pleased to present 鈥淐losed Up Like A Fist,鈥� an exhibition of collages and digital prints by Frida Orupabo.
Winged, pinned, and disembodied, Orupabo鈥檚 most recent collaged images confront the history of generational, discriminatory trauma and simultaneously offer recuperative possibilities.
Orupabo's multidisciplinary practice excavates colonial archives and digital sources to amass her materials of dispossessed imagery. By splicing and combining these depictions, she brings into question the mutability of identities, delicately bound by fragmented components. The temporal aspect of these photographs addresses how past depictions inform contemporary images, and how the two are intertwined.
