Hip-hop artist M.I.A. recently rocketed from the experimental underground to the pinnacle of the entertainment world. "O Saya," her collaboration with Indian composer A.R. Rahman from the "Slumdog Millionaire" soundtrack, is one of three nominees for the best-song Oscar. And her track "Paper Planes" is in contention at this weekend's Grammy Awards for record of the year -- the Recording Academy's top honor.
Born Mathangi Arulpragasam in Britain, the future singer returned with her family to her parents' native Sri Lanka when she was 6 months old. The family, who are members of Sri Lanka's ethnic-Tamil minority, moved to Jaffna, in the island nation's north. Not long afterward, the country erupted into civil war between the Tamil Tigers and the Sri Lankan government, and violence consumed Jaffna.
As a child, Ms. Arulpragasam rarely saw her father, Arul Pragasam, who was involved in the Tamil-separatist movement -- though she says he was part of a more political faction than the violent and better-known Tigers.
At age 10 she fled with her mother, elder sister and younger
brother first to India and then back to London, where her mother
now works as a seamstress and M.I.A. attended art college.

Check out Christian Joy's upcoming solo exhibition
—
The Visitors Must Be Amused.
DATES:
February 13 – March 8, 2009
LOCATION:
AUDIO VISUAL ARTS (AVA) - 34 East 1st St., New
York, New York 10003
HOURS:
Wednesday –Sunday, 12 –7pm
AVA is pleased to announce the opening of
The Visitors Must Be Amused by New York–based costume and
fashion designer Christian Joy. Sitting amid a sea of unwanted
scraps and left-over material from past projects, Joy decided to
dispose of the past 8 or 9 years of excess to concentrate on wildly
diverse design concepts surrounding the female being.
Adding another component to this exhibition, the artist’s
friends and family were invited to present her with a written
description of a female being. She then designed costumes to
represent each being, gave the costumes to her friends, and had
them incorporate the costume into a photograph or creation of their
own. The result of it all is found in
The Visitors Must Be Amused.
Celebrated for her originality and boldness, Joy has been
working as a self-sustained costume and fashion designer for the
past 9 years in New York City. In Spring 2007, her work was invited
to appear in a group show at the prestigious Victoria & Albert
Museum in London. Her designs have been featured in the New York
Times, Fader, Nylon, Dazed & Confused, Spin, Elle, and TIME
among other International Publications. This is Christian Joy’s
first solo exhibition.
All costumes, in addition to the contributing artists works,
will be on display at AVA.
Contributing artists include: Jason Grisell, Karen O, Nick
Zinner, Aliya Naumoff, Walter Sassard, Connie Hultquist, Marci
Leiseth and Eduardo Juarez, and Tina Schula.
