Aïsha Lehmann’s work addresses what it means to be of mixed race today, when historically, interracial relationships were heavily patrolled and condemned. Using printmaking and drawing techniques, Lehmann has created large scale mixed media portraits on panel inspired by a series of interviews conducted with individuals of mixed-race. Each piece is full of visual symbols of the merging of two different yet complementary family lineages.
