Summary:"Hangama Amiri merges painting and printmaking techniques with textiles, creating intimately sized to towering works that swing off the walls, hang from the ceiling, and sometimes rest on the floor. Her animated storylines weave together memories of her homeland in Afghanistan, life as a refugee in Central Asia, and her diasporic experience in Canada and the US. A self-proclaimed feminist, her practice spotlights the private and entrepreneurial lives of women, assembling narratives that amplify their collective struggle in Afghanistan and around the world."-- page 4.
