I know more about my work now. Something I couldn’t express with words or documentary film, so painting this idea was more direct. You caught this feeling.🦋 #FunFact : This one surprised me.

Arab Women in the Arts is an annual showcase to honor generations of Arab women who have excelled in and revolutionized all forms of artistic expression. This year’s event will highlight identity and our connections to our home or homeland through themes such as food, sustenance, soil and the concept of self reliance. It will showcase the innovative and creative work of both established and up-and-coming artists in film, poetry and the visual arts from across the Arab world, the larger SWANA region and the diaspora. #EidMubarak #ArabWomenInTheArts #ArabArtist #ArabFilmMedia #Poetry #Art #Films #BiancaAbdiBoragi

Tomorrow is your last chance to see my painting @charmoliciarmoli ’s group exhibition A Private Viewing.⁣ ⁣ Taking a close look at this common plastic bag’s pattern, I thought to paint it “à la Mondrian.” I’m always interested to see how artist approach abstraction, and thought this would be an interesting rendition of a popular motif. These sturdy bags, always around my house, people use them for literally anything and everything, like a vehicle to carry your life, across places, sometimes even used as luggage at the airport, a remnant from one dimension to the next.⁣ ⁣ 🔗 Tap the link in bio for more infos about this exhibition.⁣ 📍Charmoli Ciarmoli⁣ 250 Park Ave Suite 1472⁣ New York, NY⁣ ⏰ Wednesday-Sunday ⁣ Or by Appointment ⁣ 12 PM - 6 PM⁣ info@charmoliciarmoli.com⁣ —⁣ Bianca Abdi-Boragi, Blouta Bag series, 2023.

🗞️Thanks, @Artspiel , for the review of Invisible Bodies, where my new sculpture, Inverse Scepter, is on view at @PennState ’s @HubRobesonGalleries through Feb 18. Tap the link in bio to read the full review.⁠⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ ⁠Invisible Bodies examines the intersection of migration and labor, illuminating the often-overlooked narratives of those whose bodies remain hidden in the shadows of society. Curated by @Emireth_Herrera & @The_Border_Gallery , this exhibition explores the resilience, determination, and hierarchical structures related to immigration and race in the United States. The gallery's green walls symbolize our support for an open immigration system, allowing immigrants to contribute to the nation's labor force. Featuring fifteen artists, this exhibition offers a variety of visions and experiences that not only challenge conventional perceptions but also address cultural identity.⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ This group exhibition features artists:⁣⁠ Abang-guard (Maureen Catbagan + Jevijoe Vitug) @abang -@guard @moofro @jevijoe ⁣⁠ @BiancaAbdiBoragi ⁣⁠ @BillyGerardFrank ⁣⁠ @BrendanFernandes ⁣⁠ @CoralinaRodriguezMeyer ⁣⁠ Jamie Martinez (@jamiemartinezstudio )⁣⁠ Jodie Lyn-Kee-Chow (@lynkeeart )⁣⁠ Julia Justo (@juliajustoart )⁣⁠ Lina Puerta (@linapuertaart )⁣⁠ @Luis_Alvaro_Sahagun ⁣⁠ @MagdalenaDukiewicz ⁣⁠ @ManonWada ⁣⁠ @Michael_Pribich ⁣⁠ @Zac_Hacmon ⁣⁠ @ZahraNazari ⁣⁠ ⁣⁠ P.S.: A big thank you for making this show happen to the Curator and Senior Gallery Manager @RobertSparrowJones , and exhibition coordinator Sarah Kipp (@vonkyp ).

🧹🌹 My new sculpture made for the group exhibition Invisible Bodies, curated by @Emireth_Herrera & @The_Border_Gallery is now on view at Penn State University (@pennstate )’s @HubRobesonGalleries .⁠⁣⁠ ⁠⁣⁠ Inverse Scepter (Volume + Energy= Labor) is a sculpture crafted from found materials, employing carving and assemblage to create an unusual object deviated from its primary function. This piece considers effaced labor, affluence and politics while alluding to human dignity. This ornamented everyday object becomes a precious artifact to hold up high.⁠⁣⁠ ⁠⁣⁠ 🔗 Tap the link in bio to learn more about this work and visit my website.
