Art

Mozman Solano's artistic practice explores how mythology, history, the psyche, and economics overlap and become part of the psychological and somatic experience. Mozman Solano's work addresses trauma as a consequence of racial supremacism, diaspora and subjugation, particularly in the experience of women. Her photographs and videos address narrative, and the exploration of narrative as shaped by perception.[6] Her 2018 project Metamorphosis of Failure was inspired by a 2014 MoMA exhibition of the works of Paul Gauguin. Mozman Solano explored Gauguin's interest in racial purity against his biracial background, as well as the role of the museum in shaping cultural perceptions of him.[7] This project also engages with a feminist critique by creating images of Gauguin's muses and their poses.[8][9][3] In 2020 Mozman Solano will release her monograph Colonial Echo with Kris Graves Projects, bringing together two related bodies of work,Casa de Mujeres and La Negra as well as interviews. The work is based on her family biography, with Casa de Mujeres focusing on the experience and impact of colonialism in Panama, and La Negra addressing the time when her family migrated first to the American south, and then to New York City in the mid 1960s. The name for the title La Negra, comes from the nickname given to her grandmother by her family.
