Amalya Megerman is multidisciplinary visual artist and educator, working primarily between performance, installation, stained glass, and paint. She draws on traditional Jewish ritual, organic materials, and themes around body, anxiety, family history, and femininity. Her work probes the tensions between safety and discomfort, paranoia and cautiousness, and what it means to be complicit. In doing so, she investigates and refigures the way intergenerational trauma manifests in the rough, red edges of her skin. She graduated magna cum laude from Princeton University in 2016, where she studied Anthropology, Visual Arts, and Chinese Language and Culture. Megerman has variously received awards, residencies and shown work at the following spaces, among others: Bydrcliffe residency with a Pollack-Krasner Fellowship, ChaNorth residency with Young Artist Fellowship Award, Glasshouse ArtLifeLab, Pillow Fort Arts Center, Yellowfish Festival VI, 77Art Center, Satellite Art Club, Racer East, QSpace Beijing, PIL Gallery Beijing, and Princeton University’s Herbert L. Lucas Award in Sculpture.
