Author: Tejubehan
Tejubehan is an elderly woman originally from a community of nomadic singers, who taught herself to draw. Never formally educated, she tells her story through images – the text was narrated to us orally. She reflects on her long life: her childhood, her family’s migration to the city, her marriage – and how she learned to draw. Becoming an artist changes her life profoundly – bringing her joy and a sense of agency, an ability to express her dreams for a life of freedom and possibility – not just for herself, but for all women. This book is the first in our series – Becoming an Artist – Memoirs that illustrate art’s ability to change lives.
