Hangama Amiri ponders her country of origin, Pakistan, where she lived until the age of six, by reweaving her childhood memories related to Afghan costumes and Islamic culture, and presenting them from a different angle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Collective Objects <\/em>is part of a corpus of autobiographical works on the concept of home, derived from the artist\u2019s explorations in the New York community of Afghan immigrants and in their business activities (shops, bazaars, restaurants), which allowed her to make the memory of her native country come to the surface. By joining and overlapping multiple textiles and different images, Amiri evokes the fragmented nature of the very concept of memory. It recalls her feelings of belonging, familiarity, and nostalgia for her past, but at the same time it underlies the socio-political issues that are related to her native land, the commercial exchanges between the East and the West, and the concept of identity in a globalized world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":425,"template":"","categorie_opere":[],"curatela":[33],"class_list":["post-1066","opere","type-opere","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","curatela-clarice-pecori-gilardi"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
