THESE CONDITIONS (ARE ONLY WORSENING): AN INTERVIEW WITH ADELITA HUSNI-BEY

NO NIIN
MARCH 2024, ISSUE 23

“Adelita Huni-Bey and I met for an online conversation around her recent work with ‘These Conditions,’ a long-term project that she developed thanks to a fellowship from the Vera List Center for Art and Politics with domestic workers, students, activists and people who had to work in person during the pandemic. This conversation with Adelita felt like the perfect excuse to reconnect. We have worked together before and I am a true admirer of the analytical and pedagogical methods she applies in her artistic practice, engaging people from very different backgrounds into (active) reflections about working conditions, social roles and injustice in capitalist society. At the beginning of the conversation, we focused on this particular way of which characterises her work.”
