ABOUT

Using sculpture painting and installation Grace Kisa explores the intersection of ancient astronomical traditions and the endless possibilities of modern digital networks.

African astronomy was not just about mapping the stars, it is a living practice that connects humanity to the cosmos, guiding cultures across land and sea, shaping social and ritual practices.

In contrast our contemporary digital age driven by infinite networks of data and communication, presents an endless view of information and interaction

"AVENUES OF ENGAGEMENT" 

In this fast paced world, connectivity has become an essential aspect of our lives. We rely on networks to enable access to support systems that uphold our communities . These networks embody the intricacy of connectivity in a tangible way.

Networks encompass much more than physical infrastructure , they reflect the pulse of communities, their rich ecologies and the endless possibilities that they hold.

"ALL IN ONE"

 collaboration between Grace Kisa and Ellex Swavoni

The sky goddess blankets us with the starry blue of her flesh. She has the power to swallow the sun in the evening and give birth to it again in the morning. We have followed her brightest star to freedom and bathed in her light until our skin glowed blue black. The Goddess is the mighty mirror and we are her star children

BIOGRAPHY

 

Grace Kisa is a Kenyan  born American artist based in Atlanta, Georgia.

A multi disciplinary artist whose primary expression is sculpture, her process is improvisational, a combination of creative play and problem solving. The materials that she 

uses vary from clay, metal, wood, fiber, and resin. with a focus on recycling and repurposing ordinary objects .

Her work draws inspiration from the experiences of a childhood spent in Kenya, Ethiopia, Botswana, Virginia, and as a practicing artist Georgia. 

By taking what is familiar and transforming it, she creates narratives that engage various histories while working through concepts of intersectional identities, examining the processes of migration and cultural exchange beyond borders. Particular attention is given to ideas of 

comfort, alienation, adaptation and assimilation. Set against how that relates in a globalized world

Grace graduated from the Art Institute in Atlanta, Georgia and has worked as a professional artist for over 25 years exhibiting in solo and group exhibitions across the United States and overseas.

Notably, 

In 2024 Grace Kisa exhibited with the European Cultural Centre in Venice Italyduring the exhibition titled “Personal Structures: Beyond Boundaries” in the context of the Venice Biennale.
