STAGE

Concept development, experimentation 

CONCEPT

  • How cultural identity is formed when displaced peoples are physically disconnected to cultural landscapes

  • How Iranian identity is weaved into desert places between the Eurasian Mountain belt of the Alps to the arid belt of the old world in the Sahara, drawing on family narratives and hidden historic connections to land and place.

  • Four significant desert landscapes interweaving the cultural birth stories of four matriarchs in my family

INSTALLATION

Elements:

  • Sound - audio recorded conversation with my mother for the last 4 years - softly echoing in the background, sharing fragments of birth stories

  • Projection - moving sand-scapes, traditional Abri patterns, sand boxes or free sand forms

  • Performance piece - artist interplay with story, sand and projection
