The New York–based Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation has revealed the 20 recipients of its 2019 Biennial grants, which each come with an unrestricted $20,000 award. Selected from a pool of 110 nominated artists working in painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, video, craft, and new media, the grantees include Carmen Argote, Diedrick Brackens, Sara Cwynar, Brendan Fernandes, Deana Lawson, Tschabalala Self, and Paul Mpagi Sepuya.
Once a place where sea, desert, and palm groves coexisted in rare harmony, Tunisia’s Gabès Oasis stands today as one of the world’s most fragile cultural-environmental sites. At its heart is artist Mohamed Amine Hamouda, whose ecological practice offers a form of resistance—one built on memory, materials, and a return to ancestral knowledge.
