“DEFENDER” Keya Tama and Isolina Minjeong Opening Reception
Fri, May 3 | 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
“DEFENDER” May 3rd – June 8th, 2024
by Isolina Minjeong and Keya Tama
Opening Reception: May 3rd 6 – 8pm
“Defender” is an exhibition of their collaborative language. Through tapestries, paintings, muralism, and ceramic sculptures, Keya and Isolina protect each other’s hearts. This is their first duo exhibition in New York.
Isolina Minjeong (b. 1997, Chicago, IL) lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.
Isolina’s practice redefines pop culture through craft. Fueled by the ancient lineage of Korean and Peruvian stone carving, her ceramic figures interweave the past with manga imagery and lore. Shameless in scale and response, her surreal world juxtaposes history through honoring past and future makers.
Keya Tama is a South African artist based in New York. Inspired by pastel color palettes, patterns, and symbolism, Keya’s practice contrasts ancient and contemporary iconographies with themes of family, community, mono-myths, and minimalism.
