Hangama Amiri: Wandering Amidst the Colors

In Hangama Amiri’s solo exhibition “Wandering Amidst the Colors” at Albertz Benda, the artist employed her work to explore the concept of home. It is something, Amiri found, that can be just as much of a feeling as it is a location. By interacting with the Afghan communities of New York, she created vibrant imagery drawing from the locations, objects, and people she experienced, which reminded her of home, like a 26 x 23 inches replication of a familiar product titled Sadaf Tea and advertisement-reminiscent Magic Salon.
