Foto Relevance presents "Blue Note," the gallery's second solo exhibition of works by award-winning multidisciplinary artist Alia Ali. Featuring stunning works from the new LIBERTY and IKATIKAT (2022) series, as well as a selection of fresh works from other series, the exhibit showcases photographic works that see the artist camouflage her sitters in elaborately patterned fabrics. Concealing her subjects' identities in traditional (and often controversial) textiles, and thus anonymizing them, she exposes fraught global histories of colonialism, migration, and language through the richly-colored, enigmatic images.
Following the opening reception, the exhibit will be on display until November 12.
