 I grew up here in San Francisco. My family came from Eritrea to San Francisco back in 1984, and spent most of my time out here. And I want to say first thank you to Radar and Huliana for inviting me to come and be a part of this panel today. I'm not a writer, so I know a lot of folks had pieces that they read. But I brought some artwork, so I was going to pass that around, speak a little bit of myself, and then share my artist statement. And I thought that'd be a good way to go about it. That sound cool? Awesome. And so I'll just pass a couple around, and y'all can just pass them around and then leave them in the back somewhere, like whoever the last person is. And so a lot of the artwork I do currently, like Huliana said, has to do with line work. And some of the stuff that you'll see here has incorporated a lot of the line work and incorporates it, overlapping faces, and also incorporating text within that. And so some of these that you'll see incorporate some common themes in terms of stuff going on today, in terms of the Black Lives Matter movement. And so you can see that there. In other pieces that I'm passing around, I kind of use overlapping images without text. And in that way, I'm trying to talk about different things in terms of similarities that folks have in terms of, I'll pass this out real quick, not really good at multitasking. Let me just pass that out. Cool. Let me just pass a couple more of those if you want. Cool. Let me see. So yeah, so feel free to pass those around and look at those. I'm going to quickly just read my artist statement real quick, because I think that kind of encapsulates a lot of the themes that are relevant in my artwork. My name is Mahadeh Tesfai. I'm an African from Eritrea. I grew up in the Bay Area and currently reside in Oakland, California. I also currently reside in Santa Barbara. And I want to say it's really nice to have an excuse to come back to the Bay Area. Santa Barbara is a really lame place in many ways. I work at the university. And I was just in a meeting a couple of days ago. And it was students who were actually advocating for the need for a white student union on the campus. And that's actually some of the dialogues that are happening. I mean, that's not all the college students is a lot of amazing students that I get the opportunity to work with. But I just thought I'd mention that real quick. My father named me Mahadeh. At the time of my birth, he was a way fighting as a soldier in the Eritrean resistance. While my mother raised my brother and I, not knowing if he'd return alive, he named me Mahadeh, which in the language of Tigrinia means book of record detailing the important facts of one life. It also means the village of one's residence in the language of Tigre. My father named me Mahadeh in hopes that he would return to the village of his birth. And if not, his firstborn child would be a living document of his life. I'm an artist. I create paintings, illustrations, utilizing found objects, color, line work, repetition, surrealism, and symbolism to affirm the nuanced beauty of and complexity of African identities. My source of inspiration as an artist is constantly shifting but are rooted in the African traditional and modernist art forms. I love art history. I love functionality, abstraction, and aesthetic qualities of African sculpture. Other inspirations I draw from include geometry of Ismail El-Salahi, the line work of Elizabeth Catlett, composition of Romare Bearden, and the prolificity of artists such as Jean-Michel Besquiat, as well as the Black Arts Movement and different political movements that inform a lot of other people's artwork. And I think that's really a good place to leave off. I think I really want to engage with folks in terms of the Q&A. But thank you for your time.
