About the Artist
Ani Brutus
Ani Brutus is an interdisciplinary artist of Haitian-Filipino descent, working across print, paint, textile, and assemblage. Through the layering of scrap materials and family archives, Brutus explores how the discarded is a threshold for the divine. Drawing inspiration from the practice of Vodou, she weaves expressions of ancestral spirit into sculptural paintings and suspended fiber totems.
Ani Brutus has trained as a printmaker at the Experimental Printmaking Institute Lafayette College and currently attends the Bachelor of Fine Arts program at CUNY Hunter College. Brutus has participated in group exhibitions with Haiti Cultural Exchange, Studio 45, Blue Print Archives at ModA Curations, Black Girls Sew at the Textile Arts Center, Push-Up Gallery, and Know Your Caribbean at the Caribbean Cultural Center African Diaspora Institute (CCCADI).
