These materials are heavily associated with \u201cunmentionables,\u201d garments which are intimate and usually unseen, worn under more acceptable clothing. I am exploring an aesthetic of the tangible qualities of these substances: their stretch, their shine, their color, and the warping, molding, or other structure they reveal when combined in new ways. I create fabrics from elastics stitched together, and allow wires, boning, and channeling to dictate shapes for the textile around them, rather than to conform fabric to externally determined body shapes.\nI view the labor and actions of making these pieces as a performance of reclaiming and reimagining heretofore externally determined, corporatized, generic standards of beauty, femininity, and shape that have been foisted on women and then presumed to be intimate and hidden. I use these materials to shape and delineate space through tension, compression, and framing as a semblance of forces shaping decisions in women\u2019s lives. Materials that mold prescribed female forms are removed from bodies and employed in exhibition spaces to instead shape the wall and the aesthetic arena. Meanwhile, the female form is absent from the site, inverting the legacy of venerating the canonized female figure that excludes women creators from the dialogue.\nThe adaptable, flexible, off-kilter nature of the individual pieces reflects acts of absorbing and contorting. The fluctuating bodily experience of a mother navigates between the physical havoc of childbearing\/rearing and a recovered femininity. These pieces explore the aesthetics of reclaiming ownership and the performance of display. The adjustable hardware, modular attachments, straps placed in tension, forms stretched, and materials twisted and drooped are analogous to ways that women, mothers, and their bodies interrelate.&quot;\">\n\n                <div class=\"sby_thumbnail_hover sby_item_video_thumbnail_hover\">\n                    <div class=\"sby_thumbnail_hover_inner\">\n                                                    <span class=\"sby_video_title\" >LIA Portraits w\/ Maria Samuelson<\/span>\n                                            <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n\n                                <span class=\"sby_loader sby_hidden\" style=\"background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"><\/span>\n            <\/a>\n\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"sby_item  sby_new sby_transition\" id=\"sby_VVVWcF9BUGpINnd0bUFwdXU1a1dnVXFBLkh5ZW5DMk1CZ2xV\" data-date=\"1776935821\" data-video-id=\"HyenC2MBglU\">\n    <div class=\"sby_inner_item\">\n        <div class=\"sby_video_thumbnail_wrap sby_item_video_thumbnail_wrap\">\n            <a class=\"sby_video_thumbnail sby_item_video_thumbnail\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=HyenC2MBglU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-full-res=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/HyenC2MBglU\/maxresdefault.jpg\" data-img-src-set=\"{&quot;120&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i.ytimg.com\\\/vi\\\/HyenC2MBglU\\\/default.jpg&quot;,&quot;320&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i.ytimg.com\\\/vi\\\/HyenC2MBglU\\\/mqdefault.jpg&quot;,&quot;480&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i.ytimg.com\\\/vi\\\/HyenC2MBglU\\\/hqdefault.jpg&quot;,&quot;640&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i.ytimg.com\\\/vi\\\/HyenC2MBglU\\\/sddefault.jpg&quot;}\" data-video-id=\"HyenC2MBglU\" data-video-title=\"LIA Portraits w\/ Daniela Ponomarevov\u00e1\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/liap.eu\/wp-content\/plugins\/feeds-for-youtube\/img\/placeholder.png\" alt=\"Daniela Ponomarevov\u00e1 is a visual artist and drawer whose work combines drawing, painting, objects, installation, and text. She employs original, post-conceptual approaches, including analyses and assembly instructions for individual works. Since 2024, she has been a PhD candidate at the Faculty of Fine Arts BUT in Brno. In 2025, she became a finalist for the Critics\u2019 Award for Young Painting.\nDaniela explores the imagery of fairground attractions, \u201cadvertising smog,\u201d and digital \u201cattention grabbers\u201d that encompass a wide spectrum of visual representations: from TikTok videos, reality shows, and food porn to B-movie horror comedies, Hollywood\nfilms, and IKEA paintings. She understands all these images as \u201csymptoms\u201d of a contemporary culture obsessed with attention. She conceives the funfair as an existential metaphor for today\u2019s world: an environment of permanent saturation, visual competition, and inequality.\nBased on this research, she develops her concept of the Post-Fairground Attraction. These are hybrid works; drawings and objects that reflect how fairground aesthetic and performative principles spill over into contemporary media and public space in the form of residual signs. Within a gallery setting, these works function as ambivalent objects representing three levels of meaning: a contemporary critical work, an empty backdrop, and a pleasing attraction that is simultaneously comical and unsettling. Rather than mimicking reality, Daniela revives it in a new \u201cversion on steroids\u201d: distorted and bloated to such an extent that it can no longer be watched.\">\n\n                <div class=\"sby_thumbnail_hover sby_item_video_thumbnail_hover\">\n                    <div class=\"sby_thumbnail_hover_inner\">\n                                                    <span class=\"sby_video_title\" >LIA Portraits w\/ Daniela Ponomarevov\u00e1<\/span>\n                                            <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n\n                                <span class=\"sby_loader sby_hidden\" style=\"background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"><\/span>\n            <\/a>\n\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"sby_item  sby_new sby_transition\" id=\"sby_VVVWcF9BUGpINnd0bUFwdXU1a1dnVXFBLkJ5NjktUXJsWGRR\" data-date=\"1772705178\" data-video-id=\"By69-QrlXdQ\">\n    <div class=\"sby_inner_item\">\n        <div class=\"sby_video_thumbnail_wrap sby_item_video_thumbnail_wrap\">\n            <a class=\"sby_video_thumbnail sby_item_video_thumbnail\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=By69-QrlXdQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-full-res=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/By69-QrlXdQ\/hqdefault.jpg\" data-img-src-set=\"{&quot;120&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i.ytimg.com\\\/vi\\\/By69-QrlXdQ\\\/default.jpg&quot;,&quot;320&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i.ytimg.com\\\/vi\\\/By69-QrlXdQ\\\/mqdefault.jpg&quot;,&quot;480&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i.ytimg.com\\\/vi\\\/By69-QrlXdQ\\\/hqdefault.jpg&quot;,&quot;640&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i.ytimg.com\\\/vi\\\/By69-QrlXdQ\\\/sddefault.jpg&quot;}\" data-video-id=\"By69-QrlXdQ\" data-video-title=\"LIA Portraits w\/ Gazellah Bruder\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/liap.eu\/wp-content\/plugins\/feeds-for-youtube\/img\/placeholder.png\" alt=\"Gazellah Bruder is a highly accomplished and internationally-known artist of Tolai and Mekeo ancestry who lives and works in Papua New Guinea (PNG).

Additionally, I\u2019ve promoted gender equality and\ninclusivity through my program WOMAN\u2019Art, which fosters the growth of female\nartists in Bamenda.\u201d\">\n\n                <div class=\"sby_thumbnail_hover sby_item_video_thumbnail_hover\">\n                    <div class=\"sby_thumbnail_hover_inner\">\n                                                    <span class=\"sby_video_title\" >LIA Portraits w\/ Marcellas Njonji<\/span>\n                                            <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n\n                                <span class=\"sby_loader sby_hidden\" style=\"background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"><\/span>\n            <\/a>\n\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"sby_item  sby_new sby_transition\" id=\"sby_VVVWcF9BUGpINnd0bUFwdXU1a1dnVXFBLjZjVmM0TlkzN2Fj\" data-date=\"1769597453\" data-video-id=\"6cVc4NY37ac\">\n    <div class=\"sby_inner_item\">\n        <div class=\"sby_video_thumbnail_wrap sby_item_video_thumbnail_wrap\">\n            <a class=\"sby_video_thumbnail sby_item_video_thumbnail\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6cVc4NY37ac\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-full-res=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/6cVc4NY37ac\/maxresdefault.jpg\" data-img-src-set=\"{&quot;120&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i.ytimg.com\\\/vi\\\/6cVc4NY37ac\\\/default.jpg&quot;,&quot;320&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i.ytimg.com\\\/vi\\\/6cVc4NY37ac\\\/mqdefault.jpg&quot;,&quot;480&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i.ytimg.com\\\/vi\\\/6cVc4NY37ac\\\/hqdefault.jpg&quot;,&quot;640&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i.ytimg.com\\\/vi\\\/6cVc4NY37ac\\\/sddefault.jpg&quot;}\" data-video-id=\"6cVc4NY37ac\" data-video-title=\"LIA Portraits w\/  Illimani de los Andes\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/liap.eu\/wp-content\/plugins\/feeds-for-youtube\/img\/placeholder.png\" alt=\"\u201cI work from memory as a living territory. My artistic practice intertwines the traces of northern Nicaragua with Mesoamerican roots that still breathe through songs, bodies, and mountains. From displacement, motherhood, and spirituality, my work seeks to transform pain into a gesture of collective healing.\n\nMy practice moves between performance, sound, installations, language, and curatorial work understood as an act of care. I believe in art as a way to invoke what has no name \u2014 to listen to the voices suspended between absence and hope. In each action, the body becomes an offering, silence turns into memory, and creation opens as a space where life can speak again.\u201d\">\n\n                <div class=\"sby_thumbnail_hover sby_item_video_thumbnail_hover\">\n                    <div class=\"sby_thumbnail_hover_inner\">\n                                                    <span class=\"sby_video_title\" >LIA Portraits w\/  Illimani de los Andes<\/span>\n                                            <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n\n                                <span class=\"sby_loader sby_hidden\" style=\"background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"><\/span>\n            <\/a>\n\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"sby_item  sby_new sby_transition\" id=\"sby_VVVWcF9BUGpINnd0bUFwdXU1a1dnVXFBLlNON2QtS3hsZkY0\" data-date=\"1769597155\" data-video-id=\"SN7d-KxlfF4\">\n    <div class=\"sby_inner_item\">\n        <div class=\"sby_video_thumbnail_wrap sby_item_video_thumbnail_wrap\">\n            <a class=\"sby_video_thumbnail sby_item_video_thumbnail\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=SN7d-KxlfF4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-full-res=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/SN7d-KxlfF4\/hqdefault.jpg\" data-img-src-set=\"{&quot;120&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i.ytimg.com\\\/vi\\\/SN7d-KxlfF4\\\/default.jpg&quot;,&quot;320&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i.ytimg.com\\\/vi\\\/SN7d-KxlfF4\\\/mqdefault.jpg&quot;,&quot;480&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i.ytimg.com\\\/vi\\\/SN7d-KxlfF4\\\/hqdefault.jpg&quot;,&quot;640&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i.ytimg.com\\\/vi\\\/SN7d-KxlfF4\\\/sddefault.jpg&quot;}\" data-video-id=\"SN7d-KxlfF4\" data-video-title=\"LIA Portraits w\/ Lilian Munuo\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/liap.eu\/wp-content\/plugins\/feeds-for-youtube\/img\/placeholder.png\" alt=\"She is a self-taught, multidisciplinary visual artist from Kilimanjaro, Tanzania.\n\nHer work draws from personal experience, using art as both expression and resistance. Working with strings, nails, and acrylics in mixed media and installation, Lilian explores themes of identity, resilience, healing, and visibility.\n\nGrowing up with a physical disability shaped her perspective and deepened her sensitivity to questions of belonging and representation. Through her practice, she transforms these experiences into powerful visual narratives that challenge exclusion and celebrate strength. Each piece becomes a dialogue between fragility and power, absence and presence, self and society.\n\nHer works have been exhibited locally and internationally, including at Arts and Human Rights: Conversing Multiplicities at Concordia University in Canada. She has received recognition as a Mandela Washington Fellow, Tanzanian UN Youth Fellow, Africa No Filter Cover Star, and Tanzanian Sheroe, as well as awards from the Emergent Arts Space and Mulika Tanzania Arts and Human Rights competitions.\n\nFor Lilian, art is both a language and a space of healing a way to reimagine how the world sees difference and to reclaim visibility through hope, beauty, emotion, and truth.\">\n\n                <div class=\"sby_thumbnail_hover sby_item_video_thumbnail_hover\">\n                    <div class=\"sby_thumbnail_hover_inner\">\n                                                    <span class=\"sby_video_title\" >LIA Portraits w\/ Lilian Munuo<\/span>\n                                            <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n\n                                <span class=\"sby_loader sby_hidden\" style=\"background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"><\/span>\n            <\/a>\n\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"sby_item  sby_new sby_transition\" id=\"sby_VVVWcF9BUGpINnd0bUFwdXU1a1dnVXFBLl9aWE9lQ2hqYlNF\" data-date=\"1769596623\" data-video-id=\"_ZXOeChjbSE\">\n    <div class=\"sby_inner_item\">\n        <div class=\"sby_video_thumbnail_wrap sby_item_video_thumbnail_wrap\">\n            <a class=\"sby_video_thumbnail sby_item_video_thumbnail\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=_ZXOeChjbSE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-full-res=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/_ZXOeChjbSE\/maxresdefault.jpg\" data-img-src-set=\"{&quot;120&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i.ytimg.com\\\/vi\\\/_ZXOeChjbSE\\\/default.jpg&quot;,&quot;320&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i.ytimg.com\\\/vi\\\/_ZXOeChjbSE\\\/mqdefault.jpg&quot;,&quot;480&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i.ytimg.com\\\/vi\\\/_ZXOeChjbSE\\\/hqdefault.jpg&quot;,&quot;640&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i.ytimg.com\\\/vi\\\/_ZXOeChjbSE\\\/sddefault.jpg&quot;}\" data-video-id=\"_ZXOeChjbSE\" data-video-title=\"LIA Portraits w\/ Ndako Nghipandulwa\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/liap.eu\/wp-content\/plugins\/feeds-for-youtube\/img\/placeholder.png\" alt=\"Ndako Nghipandulwa (born 1988 in Kwanza-Sul) is a Namibian visual artist whose multidisciplinary practice encompasses nail and string art, fabric art, oil and acrylic painting, murals, and mixed media works. With a style that blends precision with imagination, his work is defined by a bold engagement with texture, geometry, and narrative.\n\nNdako\u2019s creative path is deeply rooted in both his personal history and academic background. Originally trained in civil engineering, he developed a strong foundation in mathematics, geometry, and project management skills that continue to inform the structural and conceptual elements of his work. This technical knowledge, combined with a vivid sense of visual storytelling, allows him to produce artworks that are not only aesthetically striking but also intellectually layered and meticulously crafted.\n\noften overlooked become instruments of expression in his hands. Through deliberate tension, intricate patterning, and a meditative use of color and texture, Ndako transforms these materials into evocative forms that explore identity, experience, and perception. His pieces often blur the boundaries between craft, fine art, and design, inviting viewers to engage with both the detail and the emotion embedded within each work.\n\nNdako has participated in several group exhibitions throughout Namibia and beyond, culminating in his first solo exhibition in 2022. He has also completed numerous commissioned works for individual collectors, businesses, and institutions, ranging from nail and string pieces to murals and live art performances. He is equally passionate about community engagement and education, having facilitated workshops and collaborative art projects that promote creative expression and technical skill development.\n\nWhether working on canvas, walls, or unconventional surfaces, Ndako approaches every project with a commitment to innovation, precision, and emotional resonance. His work is inspired by a combination of observation, lived experience, imagination, and the deep, often unspoken connections that tie us to each other and the world around us.\">\n\n                <div class=\"sby_thumbnail_hover sby_item_video_thumbnail_hover\">\n                    <div class=\"sby_thumbnail_hover_inner\">\n                                                    <span class=\"sby_video_title\" >LIA Portraits w\/ Ndako Nghipandulwa<\/span>\n                                            <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n\n                                <span class=\"sby_loader sby_hidden\" style=\"background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"><\/span>\n            <\/a>\n\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>    <\/div>\n    \n\t<div class=\"sby_footer\">\n\n    <a class=\"sby_load_btn\" href=\"javascript:void(0);\"  >\n        <span class=\"sby_btn_text\" >Load More...<\/span>\n        <span class=\"sby_loader sby_hidden\" style=\"background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"><\/span>\n    <\/a>\n\n    <span \n        class=\"sby_follow_btn\" \n            >\n        <a \n            href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCVp_APjH6wtmApuu5kWgUqA\/\"\n             \n            target=\"_blank\" \n            rel=\"noopener\"\n        >\n            <svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"fab\" data-icon=\"youtube\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 576 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-youtube fa-w-18\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M549.655 124.083c-6.281-23.65-24.787-42.276-48.284-48.597C458.781 64 288 64 288 64S117.22 64 74.629 75.486c-23.497 6.322-42.003 24.947-48.284 48.597-11.412 42.867-11.412 132.305-11.412 132.305s0 89.438 11.412 132.305c6.281 23.65 24.787 41.5 48.284 47.821C117.22 448 288 448 288 448s170.78 0 213.371-11.486c23.497-6.321 42.003-24.171 48.284-47.821 11.412-42.867 11.412-132.305 11.412-132.305s0-89.438-11.412-132.305zm-317.51 213.508V175.185l142.739 81.205-142.739 81.201z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg>            <span  >\n                Subscribe            <\/span>\n        <\/a>\n    <\/span>\n<\/div>\n    \n\t\n<\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\">body #sb_youtube_sbyUCVpAPjH6wtmApuu5kWgUqA9 .sby_caption_wrap .sby_caption { font-size: 13px !important}body #sb_youtube_sbyUCVpAPjH6wtmApuu5kWgUqA9 .sby_follow_btn a:hover { box-shadow:inset 0 0 10px 20px rgb(255, 255, 255, .25) !important}body #sb_youtube_sbyUCVpAPjH6wtmApuu5kWgUqA9[data-videostyle=boxed] .sby_items_wrap .sby_item .sby_inner_item { background-color: #ffffff !important}<\/style><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"templates\/template-full-width.php","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-9842","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.6 -
