    • Visual Arts

This week, Maria speaks to Jordan and the listeners about the practice of Alia Ali, a Yemeni-Bosnian-US artist who has spent her life traveling all over the world. As a result of her travels, Ali is vehemently committed to reflecting themes of interconnectedness in her work, without the barriers of language or cultural exclusivity limiting the breadth of her practice. Maria also references the writing of her friend from UChicago, Jad Dahshan, who wrote their MA thesis using Ali’s FLOW Series as a case study.
