Women Photographers Redefining Surrealism for the 21st Century by James Parlou | Mar 27 2020 ART & DESIGN Share |
Aïda Muluneh Aïda Muluneh was a photojournalist for the Washington Post before she began experimenting with her artistic voice. Muluneh creates stylized and colourful Afrofuturist images that explore her own selfhood as an Ethiopian woman, as well as her broader African identity. Body paint is a hallmark of her work, used to reference African tradition while presenting her subjects “as different characters void of nationality and ethnicity, like blank slates,” she told The Guardian in 2017. Muluneh was born in Ethiopia but spent much of her life abroad before returning to her country of birth. |
