Art on a Postcard International Women’s Day Auction - Curated by AOAP

About 

Adriana Jaros, I am Adriana Jaroslavsky, a London-based artist with a rich tapestry of cultural influences. As a third-generation Venezuelan with Romanian-Jewish roots and a Brazilian father, I embody a harmonious blend of diverse inspirations. 
My artistic focus revolves around the exploration of identity, migration, and feminism. Rooted in my immigrant experience, I integrate my heritage into my work to articulate the depths of my internal world. 
Driven by a fascination with science's revelations on memory and its connection to our awareness of experiences, I go beyond physical spaces to map emotions. This exploration aligns seamlessly with my personal interests in migration, sustainability, bio-materiality, and up-cycling, all intricately intertwined with the concept of self-defined 'identity.'

Selected Exhibitions 

In 2022, I joined Sharon Young's leading a textile collage workshop with She Speaks Up, empowering female voices. The same year, I was included in a women's group exhibition funded by the Waltham Forest Council, highlighting work against female marginalisation. This year, I received a Heritage Mural Commission opposite the William Morris Gallery and led a Wild Pigment Foraging Workshop.  

Residencies include; PADA - Portugal (2024), Xenia - UK (2023), Joya: AiR Ecologic - Spain (2023) and Anchor Studio - Porthmeor, Cornwall (2021) which enriched my practice. 

Statement 

In the creation of the submitted works, I meticulously employed natural pigments and dyes, gathered throughout the year, applying them onto recycled fabrics. The stitching process serves as a symbolic act of 'gluing,' seamlessly amalgamating diverse moments and geographies onto postcards, creating a tangible connection between them. 

You must not reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or exploit any works. In doing so, you endanger our relationships with artists, and directly jeopardise the charitable work we do.
