ARTIST BIO
Amina Ross is engaged in the abstraction and manipulation of visual and written language. As of late these interests have led to an exploration of PLAY as both a site of inquiry and a critical mode of making. Amina’s practice consists of image-making, writing, performance, and installation strategies. Amina’s process is consciously constructed and highly collaborative. Amina has shown work at the Black Cinema House, Vox Populi, Links Hall and Defibrillator Performance Art Gallery, among other venues. Amina has spoken on panels and taught workshops at College Arts Association Conference, Allied Media Conference, Black Artist Retreat, Threewalls and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Amina is currently a teaching artist at Hyde Park Art Center and was a part of Chicago Artist Coalition’s BOLT Residency 2015-2016 cohort. Amina is currently a fellow at Stony Island Arts Bank.
