Fragmented-Recaptured & Cartography Reception

Join us for a shared reception for our two exhibitions.

Fragmented-Recaptured is a coalescing dialogue between a group of artists residing in North America whose diasporic experiences are tethered by a common yet fragmented identity as Kurds. The works on display interrogate histories and modalities of marginalization and the systemic minoritization of the Kurds, the largest stateless nation within the socio-political borders of the states (Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Turkey) that rule over a part of their homeland Kurdistan. The exhibition navigates shared narratives of displacement, conflict, and resistance, offering a deeply personal yet collective lens on the Kurdish experience recaptured through the new forms of diasporic conversation.

Participating Artists: Xeçe Khadija Baker, Pedram Baldari, Nuveen Barwari, Huner Emin, Yoosef Mohamadi, Sener Ozmen, Sahar Tarighi

The artists in this exhibition, whether Palestinian, Kashmiri, or Afro-Caribbean, embark on similar missions to map out their personal relationships with ancestral and migratory lands. Their art gives voice to stories of imperialism, racism, and occupation, while also exploring new vistas of identity, connection and resilience.

Participating Artists: Hala Abubaker, Michael Hambouz, Ray Perez, Numair Qadri, Tabeena Wani, and Mona Gazala
