CASSI NAMODA

CASSI NAMODA

Cassi Namoda (b. 1988, Maputo, Mozambique) is a painter and performance artist who explores the intricacies of social dynamics and mixed cultural and racial identity. Capturing scenes of everyday life, from mundane moments to life-changing events, Namoda paints a vivid and nuanced portrait of postcolonial Mozambique in an increasingly globalized world. This year, Namoda was named one of Elephant Magazine's "Rising Arts Stars of 2020" and was commissioned to design the cover for the January issue of Vogue Italia. Her work is in the collection of the Pérez Art Museum, Miami. She works between Los Angeles and New York.
