๐๐๐ง๐ฎ๐๐ซ๐ข๐จ ๐๐๐ง๐จ (1979, Luanda, Angola) // ๐๐ถ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ญ๐ฆ
โฆโRooted in a deep exploration of textile as cultural artefact and living memory, ๐๐ถ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ญ๐ฆ takes its name from the Kimbundu word for cloth. It traces the intimate connection between body and memory through textile works that serve not merely as garments, but as active, liminal spaces of cultural resonance.
Originally worn by the Ambundu people, these textiles are reimagined as thresholds neither fully clothing nor static object charged with ancestral presence. Like a second skin, cast off yet still pulsing with meaning, ๐๐ถ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ญ๐ฆ disturbs the quiet familiarity of the domestic, transforming fabric into a medium of disruption, presence, and reflectionโโฆ
