Mariana Smith

Descripción del Artista

Mariana Smith works with printmaking, miniature painting, and video installation to address the narratives of immigrant dislocations. Currently, she is collaborating with the multimedia artists and scholars from the USA, Armenia, Germany, and Greece on a project titled “Metamorphosis - The Human Stories.” It is a series of international exhibitions and lectures connecting contemporary art and the global migrant and refugee crisis. This project will expand in 2019-2020 as “Borderlines and Liminal Spaces”—a series of interdisciplinary events centered around the theme of Borders and how the presence of borderlines influences art, social sciences, journalism, literature, history and immigration studies.
