Alice Mizrachi “Sea: My Journey”

Andrew Freedman Home

This event has ended.

SEA: MY JOURNEY, a solo exhibition by ALICE MIZRACHI, is an immersive installation that honors the migration of Mizrachi’s ancestors. From Spain to Morocco, to Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and finally New York, the exhibition explores the ways in which Mizrachi’s family joys and tribulations have informed her identity and worldview.

SEA investigates Mizrachi’s personal journey while also noting the universality of every person’s migrations, whether literal or metaphorical. With this solo exhibition of sculpture, assemblage and collage, Mizrachi combines the immediacy of found materials with her signature representations of femininity to create an environment of history, beauty and mystery.

Mizrachi, an interdisciplinary artist, has worked as an arts educator and advocate in the field of socially engaged art for over two decades for organizations including BRIC Arts, The Laundromat Project, Hi-ARTS, Miami Light Project, and The Studio Museum in Harlem. As a painter, she has exhibited work at the Museum of the City of New York, the National Museum of Women in the Arts, The United Nations and has been commissioned as a mural artist for projects in Amsterdam, Berlin, Tel Aviv, and across the United States. SEA marks a shift in Mizrachi’s focus from mural painting to sculpture and assemblage, after years of work engaging local communities in projects that reflect positive visual responses to social issues. Alice Mizrachi has been an artist-in-residence at The Andrew Freedman Home since 2016.
