Unsettled

by: Anahita Akhavan

Unsettled explores the relationship between self and place. This body of work, which Anahita began in response to her migration to Canada, illustrates her inner conflicts and cultural dysphoria in a colonial landscape. The self-portraits explore her own story as an Iranian woman, as well as how it relates to the broader experiences of women and immigration. Her fractured features take on a disquieting, eerie cast, viscerally evoking the discomfort of being caught “between” and “Unsettled.”

Unraveling Dreamscapes

by: Aqsah Shah

The exhibition explores the concepts of surrealism, the human subconscious, and dream interpretation. Aqsah uses surrealist techniques juxtaposed by images of underwater life to symbolize potent yet not entirely fathomable subconscious possibilities, while also exploring themes pertinent to her own lived experiences. Her work gives the audience insight into thoughts that move through our dreamscape; she invites viewers to look beyond the outside world and focus on their inner selves.

Lacrima: /ˈla.kri.ma/

by: Anna Kavehmehr

Stories matter. We experience an array of emotions through stories and learn to experience the world through another’s perspective. Stories connect us as humans and let us empathize with one another. This exhibition follows a story of a girl in different stages of her life where she is experiencing feelings of loss, loneliness, displacement and the hopelessness that comes with them. She is fully aware of us and finds herself gazing back at our reflection.

MERAKI Project

by: MERAKI Project

Meraki Project is based on showing natural workplaces, colourful landscapes, and Colombian people. Many of the subjects are working men and women who are of a low socioeconomic level but, at the same time, rich in wisdom, internal power, and the ability to get ahead in a country with such high socio-cultural problems. Our concept highlights the unrecognized side of Colombia and shows that it has a thriving and unique culture.
