Statement:

Let’s break it. Let’s talk about silence. Let’s talk about silence as a source of power but also silence as a tool for oppression. Let’s talk about silence. Is it positive or negative, a choice or an edict?

In collaboration with the Curatorial Agency, we proudly present silence/d—a spatial essay. Curated by Sanam Samanian, the show references recent works by three emerging artists from diasporic communities: Salva Modarres, Brian W. Fraser, and Ali Motamedi. The juxtaposition visually depicts the intricacies of silence, exhibiting both its merits and perils in our contemporary culture.
