Amy Hussein

Dominican Republic

Amy Hussein (1989) is a Dominican-Lebanese visual artist whose work focuses on the resignification, recoding, and juxtaposition of images from contemporary culture. Hussein configures a personal imaginary, which deals with the complexities of the diaspora and the reimagining of its context. She attended the Altos de Chavón School of Design (2014), the Intensive Studies Program at Parsons The New School (2013) and participated in Curando Caribe (2016), a curatorial training program organized by Centro León and the CCE in Santo Domingo. In 2014 she founded and directed Casa Quién, a space for the production of contemporary thought dedicated to the development of artistic practices based in the Caribbean and Latin America. Hussein is based in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, where she was raised.
