Jordan Nassar
Four Seasons, 2021
New York-based artist Jordan Nassar hand-stitches colorful threads onto cotton fabric, to create vibrant landscapes that evoke the Palestinian diaspora’s longing for an ancestral land. His medium derives from tatreez, a centuries-old embroidery tradition in Palestine that has been passed down typically from one generation of women to the next. At times working collaboratively with artisans located throughout the region, Nassar transforms classical patterns into abstracted figurations that frequently depict rising or setting suns above undulating hills.

Born and raised in Manhattan’s Washington Heights neighborhood, Rivero’s creative process deconstructs and reimagines what he perceives as the broken narrative of Dominican-American identity, socio-geographic solidarity, familial expectations, race, and gender roles.
María Fragoso
