Karimah Ashadu in Art in America
Karimah Ashadu was featured in the latest edition of Art in America for her work on the everyday work of African laborers.
“Though Ashadu’s work is often seen in European contexts as a statement on big issues like race and labor, she thinks of it, first and foremost, as simply ‘elevating the everyday.’…[she] refuses to be an interlocutor, instead affording the different African workers the opportunity for first-person storytelling.”
