Exploring the intersections between nostalgia, post-digital spaces, and the ways in which they converge and can be mediated through digital platforms.

Finstas are concealed Instagram profiles created to break free from performance. They examine the idea of these digital footprint and the role they play in shaping our memories and the spectra through online memory archiving.

Selected photos from finstas are printed, dissected, mended, and transferred, intertwining these memories. This process cross-examines the transition from digital to tangible, further exploring the fragility of print on paper and drawing this connection to Abogado’s recent migration experience.

Vestiges of (Be)longing is commissioned and curated by Nathaniel Enriquez and is part of Composite, A group exhibition for Jameel Arts Centre’s Youth Assembly last May 5 to May 28, 2023.
