MoMA PS1: Umar Rashid: Sink or Synchronize
November 1, 2022
Watch hereUmar Rashid discusses a new sculpture conceived for his exhibition at MoMA PS1, Ancien Regime Change 4, 5, and 6.
Through his multidisciplinary practice—including paintings, drawings, textiles, and a new multimedia sculpture being created for this exhibition—Rashid draws on both history and fantasy to create epic narratives that examine how political and cultural power is established and might be undone. Rashid’s first solo museum exhibition in New York City features over 30 new works that mark the final chapters of his ongoing series, Ancien Regime Change. The series looks back to the 18th century and its colonial regimes, exploring a critical period of global upheaval and modern transformation through extensive research. For the new works featured in the exhibition, Rashid draws specifically on the history of New York.
