Alex Saba

I am a multi-disciplinary artist working with sculpture, performance, and written pieces. I graduated in May of 2020 with a BFA-Sculpture from Mississippi State University. I participated in several shows and exhibitions surrounding social and political issues. Some examples, are, “ESCAPADE: BFA Thesis Exhibition,” with the body of work, ‘Two-Faced,’ bringing awareness to abusive relationships by interviewing survivors of abuse and interpreting their stories into written and sculptural pieces; “Taking Back My Crown,” performing,, ‘We Don’t Eat,’ a written piece on my experience with abuse.  I was also the Director and Co-Curator of, “What Were You Wearing?” where survivors write in what they were wearing when they were sexually assaulted; and “#Metoo,” with Lexus Giles, a performance piece addressing incestual and relational sexual abuse. I strive for social and political change by encouraging audiences to question their motives and views. I make a point to have multiple perspectives and create interactive exhibits to not perpetuate the tunnel vision that is an issue in American society. Since I have been able to participate, activism has played an important role in my life with art, protests, community service, and conversations with the people around me.
