NJAIMEH NJIE, DID YOU GET EVERYTHING?
“What do we take, and what is left behind when we leave home? With audio and visual collage, this installation takes visitors inside the collective memory of a fictional family that is leaving their home. Grappling with issues of gentrification, migration, memory, intergenerational relationships, and Black interior life, the two-room installation ponders how making home is part of how we make ourselves. Installation created for the group show, making home here, at the Mattress Factory in Pittsburgh, PA, curated by Sean Beauford and Sylvia Rhor Samaniego.” - Njaimeh Njie
