Octavia Art Gallery’s booth will feature the figurative, photographic work of Yemeni-Bosnian-American artist Alia Ali. Ali’s strong belief that textile is significant to all of us, reminds us that we are born into it, we sleep in it, we eat on it, we define ourselves by it, we shield ourselves with it, and eventually, we die in it. Textile can move past language and offer an expansive, experiential understanding of self, culture, and nation. In keeping with focus on figure and textile, the booth will feature three sculptures by Mexican-American artist Enrique Alférez which highlight traditional coverings. These three sculptures will exist in a garden, created by featuring photographs with floral textiles by Ali.
