BIOGRAPHY
Bianca works across media, using video, sculpture, painting, drawing and installation to enact representations of self and other, often using found materials and landscapes as receptacles to address different states of being, with a specific focus on alienation and territory. Tending towards the absurd, though with care and respect, her works respond to the contemporary political and social environment in the United States, France and Algeria, engaging with themes of gender, violence, and migration, while linking this moment to the historical repercussions of post-colonialism.
Bianca Abdi Boragi (b. Paris, 1985) is a French-American artist who graduated with an MFA from Yale Sculpture in 2017 and a BFA from ENSAPC (École Nationale Supérieure d'Arts de Paris-Cergy). Bianca will have her solo show at the Border Project Space and show at the Immigrant Artist Biennale in Summer 2020.
Previous residencies: NARS, MASS MoCA, the Centquatre, Pact Zullverein, Cal'Arts.
She was the recipient of the JUNCTURE Fellowship in Art and International Human Rights and has exhibited at NURTUREart Gallery, Chashama Gallery, Field Projects, Galerie Protégé, The Border Project Space and internationally
