Zalika Azim: Blood Memories (or a going to ground)

Zalika Azim uses multiple forms—photography, sculpture, performance, printmaking and sound—to recontextualize established narratives surrounding Black movement and placemaking. Bringing together new and recent works made during residencies in New York, Austin, and Omaha, Blood Memories (or a going to ground) grapples with questions of belonging by proposing an examination of the spaces between departure and arrival. For Azim, these interstitial spaces are not simply physical gaps to be traversed; rather, they represent a speculative phenomenon that connects personal and collective histories across time.
