Her work focuses on personal and historical narratives related to the act of travelling. Materials such as coffee, tea. ink, banana fibre paper, charcoal, acrylic paint, canvas and books are used to explore notions of identity and memory in relation to \u2018mixed origins\u2019 and histories. The artist makes reference to fictional and factual narratives, questioning the role of images and objects in relation to memory and the subjectivity of the act of re-membering.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Works<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4>Entwined, 2011<\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"max-width:px; margin:0px auto;\" >\r\n<video playsinline class=\"player12996\" preload=\"auto\" \r\nposter=\"\" \r\n \r\n \r\n\r\n>\r\n\r\n<source src=\"https:\/\/hangar.com.pt\/online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/MaimunaAdam_Entwined_Entrela\u00e7ado2011_MOVconvert_x264.mp4\"  type=\"video\/mp4\" size=\"720\" \/>\r\n \r\n\t  Your browser does not support the video tag. <a href=\"https:\/\/hangar.com.pt\/online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/MaimunaAdam_Entwined_Entrela\u00e7ado2011_MOVconvert_x264.mp4\" download>Download Video<\/a>\r\n  \r\n<\/video>\r\n<style>\r\n.plyr__control[data-plyr=\"play\"]{\r\n  background:  !important;\r\n  color: #ffffff !important;\r\n}\r\n.plyr--full-ui input[type=range]{\r\n  color:  !important;\r\n}\r\n.plyr__control{\r\n  color: !important;\r\n}\r\n\r\n.plyr__time, .plyr__time--duration{\r\n color: !important;\r\n}\r\n\r\n.plyr__tooltip{color: !important;\r\n}\r\n\r\n\/*Secondery*\/\r\n\r\nbutton.plyr__control:hover{\r\n  background: !important; }\r\n\r\n\r\n.plyr--audio .plyr__control[aria-expanded=true] {\r\nbackground: !important;}\r\n\r\n.plyr--video .plyr__control[aria-expanded=true] {\r\nbackground: !important;}\r\n\r\n.plyr__control--overlaid:hover {\r\nbackground: !important;}\r\n\r\n.plyr__menu__container .plyr__control[role=menuitemradio][aria-checked=true]::before {\r\n    background: !important; }\r\n.plyr--full-ui input[type=range] {\r\ncolor: !important;}\r\n\r\n.plyr--audio .plyr__control[aria-expanded=true] {\r\nbackground: !important;}\r\n\r\n.plyr--video .plyr__control[aria-expanded=true] {\r\nbackground: !important;}\r\n\r\n.plyr__control--overlaid:hover {\r\n   !important;}\r\n.plyr__menu__container .plyr__control[role=menuitemradio][aria-checked=true]::before {\r\n    !important;}\r\n\r\n<\/style>\r\n\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nconst players12996 = Plyr.setup('.player12996', {\r\n\thideControls:false,\t\r\n\tsettings:['captions', 'quality', 'speed', 'loop'],\r\n\tquality: { default: 720, options: [4320, 2880, 2160, 1440, 1080, 720, 576, 480, 360, 240] },\r\n\tcontrols: [\r\n\t'play-large',\t'restart',\t\r\n\t'rewind',\t\r\n\t'play',\t\r\n\t'fast-forward',\t\t\r\n\t'progress',\t'current-time',\t\r\n\t'duration',\t 'mute',\t'captions',\r\n\t'volume',\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t'settings', \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t'pip',\t\t\r\n\t'airplay',\t\t\r\n\t'fullscreen',\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t],\r\n\ti18n: {\t\t\r\n\trestart:'Restart' ,\r\n    rewind: 'Rewind {seektime}s' ,\r\n    play: 'Play',\r\n    pause:'Pause',\r\n    fastForward: 'Forward {seektime}s',\r\n    seek: 'Seek',\r\n    seekLabel: '{currentTime} of {duration}',\r\n    played:'Played',\r\n    buffered: 'Buffered',\r\n    currentTime: 'Current time',\r\n    duration: 'Duration',\r\n    volume:'Volume',\r\n    mute: 'Mute',\r\n    unmute:'Unmute',\r\n    enableCaptions:'Enable captions',\r\n    disableCaptions:'Disable captions',\r\n    download:'Download',\r\n    enterFullscreen:'Enter fullscreen',\r\n    exitFullscreen:'Exit fullscreen',\r\n    frameTitle:'Player for {title}',\r\n    captions: 'Captions',\r\n    settings: 'Settings',\r\n    pip:'PIP',\r\n    menuBack: 'Go back to previous menu',\r\n    speed: 'Speed',\r\n    normal:'Normal' ,\r\n    quality:'Quality',\r\n    loop:'Loop',\r\n    start:'Start',\r\n    end:'End',\r\n    all:'All',\r\n    reset: 'Reset',\r\n    disabled:'Disabled',\r\n    enabled: 'Enabled',\r\n    advertisement:'Ad',\r\n    qualityBadge: {\r\n      2160: '4K',\r\n      1440: 'HD',\r\n      1080: 'HD',\r\n      720: 'HD',\r\n      576: 'SD',\r\n      480: 'SD',\r\n    },\r\n  },\r\n});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Entwined, Maimuna Adam, Edition of 3 + AP, 6\u00b445\u00b4\u00b4, 2011[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Projecting as a circular \u2018window\u2019 reminiscent of a ship\u2019s porthole, Entwined is a visual reflection focusing on the intricate technical detail of fingers and hands while braiding hair. The braid is a symbol which brings to mind memories of my Indian-born paternal grandmother, who would more often than not wear her long hair in a thin braid. Through this apparently simple act I explore and question \u2018female\u2019 and \u2018feminine\u2019 narratives, and how these are mediated alongside different cultural, political and religious beliefs.<\/p>\n<p>Having moved to Sweden with my parents and siblings when I was 5 years old, whether it coincides with the actual order of events, I remember my Dadi, in Maputo, trying to teach me to read Arabic, and how frustrating it had been for both of us, and how I had only managed to memorize the first four characters before leaving. After our return to Maputo, my grandmother became ill and was eventually diagnosed with Alzheimer\u2019s, her condition deteriorating quickly.<\/p>\n<p>Within the almost mechanical, repetitive, movement to \u2018weave\u2019 the hair into a braid, I attempt to find the unspoken lessons that are passed down the family line,which might have been left behind, that have been \u2018entwined\u2019, and unravelled, in one\u2019s being, perhaps subconsciously. The mysterious feminine is brought to view through an intimate dream-like space where these \u2018vignettes\u2019 are seen to merge and multiply. The undoing of the braid parallels the character Penelope in Homer\u2019s Odyssey, where tapestry is replaced by braid, and the loyalty that the loom represents between husband and wife in the original story, here becomes the familiarity between women of different generations, of the told and untold stories woven, passed down, from mother to daughter, from sister to sister, grandmother to granddaughter.<\/p>\n<p>Model: Cecilia Ferreira[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/6&#8243;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;10px&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;11491&#8243; img_size=&#8221;80&#215;80&#8243; onclick=&#8221;custom_link&#8221; link=&#8221;https:\/\/hangar.com.pt\/online\/&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;4\/6&#8243;][vc_wp_custommenu nav_menu=&#8221;6564&#8243; el_class=&#8221;my-awesome-widget&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Artists&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_separator][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/6&#8243;][vc_wp_custommenu nav_menu=&#8221;6563&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;4\/6&#8243;][vc_column_text]Maimuna Adam (b. 1984, Maputo, Mozambique) completed her Bachelor of Arts in Fine Art at the University of Pretoria in 2008.
