Meroogal Womens Art Prize 2022

The basic ingredients of Meroogal recipes - flour, sugar and salt.- are a refrain to the quiet rhythm of ”women’s work”. Things are made, consumed and cleared repeatedly, with few visible markers.

Feeding, teaching and caring leave a small footprint, yet enable society to function smoothly.

The format of a Mandala invites a deeper contemplation of the ephemerality of human activity: effort is made, things are created, only to disappear at the end. Yet the work is a celebration of existence.
