August 24–October 14, 2023
Artspeak welcomes guest curators Yasaman Moussavi and Elmira Sarreshtehdari. The exhibition acts as an interwoven tapestry of narratives from six Iranian artists living in North America, as they reflect on the recent women-led uprisings, and their experiences as immigrant bodies in relation to law, nature, life and death, senses of freedom, and collective identities. It Is Still Living .. . resides in the unsettling and ever changing in-between spaces of material and immaterial, knowing and unknowing, embodiment and disembodiment, construction and deconstruction of the living world.
