Naomi Uman

Bio

Naomi Uman’s work is marked by her signature handmade aesthetic, often shooting, hand-processing, and editing her films with the most rudimentary of practices. Her work focuses on repetitive manual practices, agrarian ways of living, women’s work, and the intersection of ethnography, portraiture, and self-portraiture. She works in many media, ranging from 16 millimeter hand-processed film, to video installation and tempera paintings. She teaches at the Fine Art Museum in Mexico City, leading workshops in handmade filmmaking.
