“We’re thrilled to honor Tracey Snelling, whose practice has the capacity to connect with many communities around the world, and speaks about the turbulence of urban anxiety and the extenuating living conditions experimented by many,” says juror Humberto Moro. “In the midst of an art world which is increasingly sanitized, it’s fundamental to highlight the practices—like Snelling’s—that deal with these subjects from a generous and empathic point of view.”
“Tracey makes us reconsider the relationship between identity and place—the way we so often project narratives onto one another based on the environments we’re used to,” says Adam Yokell, Foundwork’s Director. “We’re thrilled to help propel her socially resonant work during these polarized times.”
