This month we are treated to work that has come out of our Partnership with NYC-based En Foco that supports the work of emerging artists of color. After reviewing the 2021 En Foco Photography Fellows, Blue Sky’s exhibition committee chose Amarise Carreras and Spandita Malik to each receive a solo exhibition at Blue Sky. Spandita Malik tackles the problematic misogynist culture of India and the very real state of domestic violence by bringing women together to find agency. Through an inherited language of embroidery and by inviting collaboration, barriers are broken, creative spaces become safe havens, and art becomes a way to redefine women’s destinies.
