        ZAJMI




STUDIO ZAJMI (1993–) is an editorial, design, archival, and installation studio founded by Ebba Zajmi. Working from a diaspora between the Balkans and the Bronx, the studio is rooted only in Anzaldua’s nepantla, aiming to be a memory keeper and sculptor for diasporic storytelling across borders and disciplines.

STUDIO ZAJMI is currently on a digital hiatus until the new year, but please see below for where to catch us near you!

ZHGARRAVINA



A workshop in connection with PETRIT HALILAJ’s exhibition, ABETARE (NOISY CLASSROOM), with programming curated
by ERIOLA PIRA.

19 OCTOBER 2024

For the third and last workshop, ZHGARRAVINA (scribble), EBBA ZAJMI invites participants to engage in mark-making, starting with an in-depth look at the scribbles in the work on view in the gallery.

From identifying and naming figures, words, and marks on the school desks to the sculptures PETRIT HALILAJ extracted from them, participants are guided through making their marks and creating collectively authored broadsheets.
A BIRD’S NECK FOR LUNCH

EBBA ZAJMI
was born in Tirana, Albania and raised in the Lenape lands of the Bronx. Their practice deconstructs and reimagines intergenerational patternmaking, the family home as a bodymind, erasure and revision within national archives and architecture, object sculptures as memory keepers, and diasporic soundscapes.

Zajmi’s work has appeared in Ouroboros and Blindspotting by Image Text Ithaca Press, the Diaspora Issue of No, Dear Magazine, O Gocë, the Essex Flowers Gallery, and more.
