Taipei by Ibi Ibrahim

TAIPEI; a solo long-form project by Yemeni American artist Ibi Ibrahim. Roaming through foreign streets in the island’s capital, Ibrahim’s extrinsic eye lingers on corners of mundane quietude. The act of archiving memories away from home is fueled by the photographer’s relationship to his own homeland, Sana’a, where a once familiar taste of freedom can no longer be captured due to ongoing war and conflict.

Ibi Ibrahim (b. 1987, Michigan, United States) is a Yemeni-American visual artist, musician and photo book publisher. He studied photography at the International Center of Photography in New York. Ibrahim’s work explores various thematics surrounding immigration, gender and resilience. All marked by notions of in-betweenness, transition and the diasporic human experience. His work is part of a number of private collections as well as public collections including the New York Public Library, the British Museum, Colorado College, Arab American National Museum, Barjeel Art Foundation and Durham University Oriental Museum, among
others.
