3 Works: Anina Major on Kinship
August 19, 2021 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
In this live online event, Chief Curator and Deputy Director Sequoia Miller will be joined by artist Anina Major. Born in the Bahamas and currently living in the United States, Anina uses the vernacular of craft to reclaim experiences and relocate displaced objects.
About the Artist
Anina Major (she/her) is a visual artist from the Bahamas. Her decision to voluntarily establish a home contrary to the location in which she was born and raised motivates her to investigate the relationship between self and place as a site of negotiation. Her practice exists at the intersection of nostalgia and identity. She holds an MFA from Rhode Island School of Design and is the recipient of numerous awards and residencies, including the Elizabeth Foundation for the Art Studio Program and the Socrates Sculpture Park Fellowship. Her work has been exhibited in The Bahamas, across the United States, and Europe, and featured in permanent collections, including the Fuller Craft Museum and the National Gallery of The Bahamas.
