This month we meet artist Amnna Attia, a Toronto-based artist. They were curated by Saif-Ullah Khan of the AGO Youth Advisory. “Amnna is young, proudly Palestinian and holds clear intent with her work. Her embroidery pieces explore themes of reconnection with land, culture and heritage. As a fellow child of the diaspora, this deeply resonates with me. Amnna’s art is a radical reclamation of her identity. It draws back to the Palestinian tradition of tarteez in an attempt to hold onto an identity subjected to decades of violence and displacement − violence that our institutions often refuse to acknowledge.”
