Artist Statement:
"The Travelling Dress" by
artist Maimuna Adam is a body
of photographic and video
artworks. The artist explores
aspects of displacement in
relation to stereotypes of
nationality and 'origins', as
well as how travel and
relocation affect the
individual.

The artworks focus on a
displaced object, a dress
which the artist once owned.
By exploring the remembered
object of her past, the artist
comments on issues of
attachment to the physical, as
well as that which is
personally perceived and felt.


In approaching contemporary
issues of 'transnationalism',
the constant movement and
cross-over of people and
objects within a global world,
artist Maimuna Adam reveals
the very relevant complexities
which may be created within
the identity of displaced
individuals. The artist delves
into the notion of identity as
fluid, at a time where notions
of boundaries and limitations
fluctuate.

This body of work considers
both the physical as well as
the psychological interactions
people have with objects and
their physical surroundings.
This in turn is linked by the
artist with the exploration of
home and belonging, notions
which the artist sees as
mediated through the object.
