How do you narrate a deeply personal story of coming to know your own identity when it is formed through multilayered exchanges of meanings, forms, and memories? Where fragments slide apart, cross, and occasionally find new ways of meeting?
ما به هم می رسیم | we reach each other is an exhibition by Borealis Artist in Residence Jaleh Negari existing in parallel to her new commissioned work Earthly Bonds.
Reflecting on migration, memory, linguistic confusion, and cultural fragmentation the work unfolds Negari’s interdisciplinary investigations through visual and spatial forms, resulting in a richly layered work, where graphic scores, patterned compositions, and multichannel sound pieces come together to create an immersive environment. These visual and sonic elements together form a larger narrative that reflects moments of translation, reassembly, and the ongoing processes through which identity and memory are formed.
ما به هم می رسیم | we reach each and the concert Earthly Bonds are two complementary manifestations of the same inquiry. While music forms the core of the project, the visual and spatial elements illuminate its concepts in new ways. Together, they invite engagement with displacement, memory, and relational bonds in ways that are both intimate and profound.
The textile piece presented in the exhibition is designed by Jaleh Negari and made by weaver Mille Ahrenkiel.
