Her evocative works probe questions of race  class  cultural hybridism  and national identities in African diasporic communities. Mara Magdalena Campos-Pons: Everything Is Separated by Water is the first full-scale survey of the artists career. The title  borrowed from one of her works  evokes at once the dangerous sea crossings faced by her enslaved ancestors from Africa and her Cuban contemporaries seeking greater freedom in America  and the sense of dislocation felt when physical and geopolitical barriers divide family and friends  past and future. Lisa D. Freiman considers how Campos-Ponss practice  which is predicated on concepts of separation  memory  and fragmentation  developed and transformed from her artistic training and early production in Cuba in the 1980s through her move to the United States in 1991 and her subsequent recognition as a major figure in the international art world. Okwui Enwezor interprets Campos-Ponss expressive materials--reassembled fragments of lost traditions and symbols  and memories of personal and collective history  religion  and mythology--within the context of post-colonial theory. Handsomely designed and produced  this book offers an unprecedented opportunity to assess the significance and import of this challenging artists work.
