Shaina McCoy
A series of portraits inspired by her family´s photo albums, offering traces of memories, rather than creating an archival documentation. Through faceless paintings, she explores familial bonds and chosen friendships, highlighting moments of intimacy and connection. McCoy resists traditional western art narratives, emphasising joy over struggle, and granting importance to her subjects through her signature style of bold brush strokes. These portraits serve as affirmations of black identity and space.
9 April - 25 June 2022, Duarte Sequeira HQ, Braga, Portugal
