Intro
This dual exhibition interweaves parallel strands of two artistic research projects dealing with subjective, image-based approaches to migration and memory in a joint spatial installation.
Taking her cue from the private photo archive of her father, who lived between 1978 and 1987 as a young Portuguese university student in Prague, Ana de Almeida examines contrasting revolutionary phases: the failed Prague Spring of 1968, the Carnation Revolution of1974, and the emerging Velvet Revolution of 1989. The artist transforms historical photos and videos into sculptural display elements that traverse the space like a parcours.
In her central video installation On Another Note (2024)—as in her collages and textile prints—Takriti uses the artistic legacy and photo album of her grandmother, who lived as a teacher and textile artist in Kuwait in the 1960s, to illuminate the region’s transnational entanglements using the example of a family history that was determined by concern about Palestinian statelessness.
