Press Release
Gaa is pleased to present Ni Hivi Hivi Duniani, a solo exhibition of new works by Tanzanian-American artist Malaika Temba. In this narrative-based body of jacquard woven textiles, Temba incorporates paint, stencils, and embroidery to accentuate specific cultural and historical traditions, as well as the emotional responses these practices elicit across geographies and generations. Ni Hivi Hivi Duniani represents Temba’s first solo exhibition with Gaa, and her inaugural solo presentation in Germany.
Raised from youth through adolescence across Saudi Arabia, Uganda, South Africa, Morocco, and the United States, Temba utilizes a global, contemporary lens to address long-established archetypes and tropes. Temba presents these images in textile – a medium once reliant upon the human hand, now intertwined with technology, industry, and innovation – juxtaposing analog and digital methods of making.
Photographs from her travels to Tanzania serve as her source...More
