"My practice exists in the tension between rest and labor, between the intimacy of touch and the vast systems that shape our world," says artist Malaika Temba. "Whether I am working on a small weaving or a large-scale installation, I am always asking what materials remember and who gets remembered through them." Merging digital and analog processes, Temba creates layered textile pieces in an exploration of migration, labor, gender, global trade, and daily life.
