We are so proud to debut Soliana Habte’s book, Save Your Selves this Thursday at the San Francisco Art Book Fair!

It is a beautiful case bound, 118 pages of commentary, color, photography, poetry, identity and healing.

sol1ana creates richly textured self-portraits, sculptures, films, paintings and collaborative group exercises to activate ancestral, futuristic patterns of freedom and conjure Afro-presence

they learned how to paint on rocks and socks in the backyard as a child in Kingston, observing how colors go together and the way air can smell and feel

a Black, Ethiopian, American, Afro Futurisitic, Queer, Non Conforming alien being, sol1ana is not subtle but they are at home on earth

they would like the right to exist peacefully, but recognizes that their existence is inherently extractive

this is their first book
