Individual realities and reflections around migrant visual cultures, diasporic narratives, networked images, and the class hierarchy of pixels constitute the foci of her creative practice.

The artist recruited a team of colleagues who availed themselves of Senegal’s comparatively loose visa regulations to migrate to the country’s capital, Dakar, which beckons with welcoming working conditions for artists and a thriving creative scene. Throughout their process-based shared practice, they used documentary formats as a scaffold for collective speculation and communal creation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-style=\"mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe monograph\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eTools for Conviviality\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eincludes writings by Carlos Kong and Mahret Ifome Kupka on the current exhibition project as well as an overview of the artist’s work from 2015 to the present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePublished by Distanz\u003cbr\u003eHardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e145 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e195 x 250 mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eISBN \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e9783954764723\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Distanz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42947369468118,"sku":"TFCAE","price":25.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2538\/3478\/products\/9783954764723_Cover_1920x1920_f2dfb915-3deb-4ba5-9ae5-8a4b72f57f8b.jpg?v=1652705884","url":"https:\/\/www.thelibraryproject.ie\/es\/products\/tools-for-conviviality-anna-ehrenstein","provider":"The Library Project","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
