Answer 1

Skunder Boghossian moved to the United States primarily to escape political turmoil in Ethiopia, although he was later involved in the Black Arts Movement and teaching.

Step-by-step explanation:

The main reason for Skunder Boghossian's move to the United States was to escape political turmoil. Boghossian, an Ethiopian multimedia artist, was part of a wave of artists who made significant contributions to the art world by drawing on their African heritage and addressing themes related to Pan-Africanism and postcolonial movements. While Boghossian's work did intersect with the Black Arts Movement, and he was indeed involved in teaching, the primary catalyst for his relocation to the U.S. was the desire to find stability and safety away from the political instability in his home country.
