This double-sided take-home print made for the exhibition of Spectral Futures (curated by Vince Rozario) features an essay on one side and a poem on the other.
In conversation with
the works of Shirin Fahimi and Jawa El-Khash (see second image), this essay traces the trope of the “Uprooted Artist” mired by diasporic longing, and urges a different kind of re-telling that refashions the past toward the future.
