The Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art presents “بطن The core of my person” // Maryam Tavakoli Dastjerdi
Date:
Fri, Sep 13th, 2024 to Sat, Oct 26th, 2024Time:
11:00 am
Description:
Tavakoli explores the intricate relationship between memory and identity through her art drawing on the philosophical concept of Tabula Rasa, which likens the mind to a blank slate shaped by experiences.
Her practice delves into how identity and memory are interconnected, suggesting that one's sense of self is both shaped by and inseparable from their memories.
Tavakoli utilizes technical strategies to deconstruct her compositions, and then displace and distort the reality as we know it to convey that memory and identity cannot be defined separately given the complex overlapping nature of the two concepts. Her works seek to explore identity through memories of lived life experiences, personal traumas, and the social/cultural structure of her home country.
“بطن The core of my person” will be on view in the Alternator’s Project Gallery from September 13 - October 26, 2024.
