STANDING IN THE CRACKS OF MULTIPLE HISTORIES 

We are deeply excited to welcome Amara Abdal Figueroa as a resident artist at SAVVY Contemporary. Amara's residency takes place within our project Standing in the Cracks of Multiple Histories, which investigates the contours of the history of the United States as well as the hegemonic narratives that form and uphold it. 

Amara Abdal Figueroa  was born in Borikén (Puerto Rico) and lives between Kuwait and Borikén. Amara proposes a hyper-local ceramic practice as a tool for land and water conservation by foraging materials from sites that require landslide mitigation.Through studying clay content for ceramic viability, her research provides an alternative for imported materials and the development of a ceramic pour over water filter, Tierrafiltra.
