Aliza Nisenbaum: Painting from Life | Art21 "Extended Play"
Description:
Episode [288]: Artist Aliza Nisenbaum began both her friendship with Veronica Ramírez and her observational portrait painting practice at artist Tania Bruguera’s Immigrant Movement International (IMI) in 2012. Over ten years later, the seeds of friendship, empowerment, and solidarity planted at IMI continue to bloom through their relationship and continued engagement with the community of Corona, Queens through art. Culminating with the opening of Nisenbaum’s Queens Museum exhibition “Queens, Lindo y Querido,” this film follows the development of Nisenbaum’s observational portraiture and highlights the power of a socially engaged art practice to make a difference in the lives of individuals and communities.
Aliza Nisenbaum was born in 1977 in Mexico City, Mexico, and lives and works in Queens, New York. Learn more about the artist at: https://art21.org/alizanisenbaum/
