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.
Reception: Saturday, July 26, 6–8 PM
Participating Artists: Xeçe Khadija Baker, Pedram Baldari, Nuveen Barwari, Huner Emin, Yoosef Mohamadi, Sener Ozmen, Sahar Tarighi
