Rami, Yas
Yas Rami is a Brooklyn-based artist who explores the friction between systemic records and personal memory. Her work combines visceral, gestural painting with layered archival materials, merging 'cold' data, such as clinical records and maps, with the intimate history of photographs or traditional recipes.
By synthesizing these elements, Rami examines how individual identity persists within rigid societal frameworks. Her practice focuses on reclaiming narratives of labor and resilience, particularly those of women and others often pushed to the margins of history. Through this process, she transforms static archives into tactile, living testaments of the human spirit.
