Negiste Yesside Johnson (Lagos, Nigeria, 1988) works with the subjects of undocumented migration, financial and social precarity, and class inequity, making visible these issues that result from colonialism. Drawing from personal and shared experience that forces a certain desolation of the self, Johnson brings together found and discarded objects as signs and symbols of the logistics of capitalism, in an effort to expose western-centric privilege. Shuffering and Shmiling is a project which highlights the social, financial, and mental precarity faced by undocumented migrants in limen. Through a collision of languages, a community of the borderless is built from the mutual experiences of diaspora, generating a nuanced form of activism that manifests as a subtle confrontation.
