Belonging with Rugiyatou Jallow

Swedish-Gambian artist, Rugiyatou Jallow, uses acrylic and oil on canvas to discuss perspectives about the sense of belonging (or lack thereof) of mixed race women. Rugiyatou herself, shares her perceptions through her paintings, showcasing portraiture that combines Black and White skin in a separate and stark manner…but with the possibility of connection through real threads that she weaves across the paintings.
