Hong Kong-based curatorial office and gallery Mur Nomade presents ‘Recollections’, a group exhibition by three female artists - Ana González (Colombia), Ivy Ma (Hong Kong) and Nastaran Shahbazi (Iran) - opening on October 10th, and on view until December 24th. A newly created short story by writer Cally Yu complements the exhibition. In literary form and through the media of etching, porcelain, embroidery, painting and video, the exhibition deals with the subject of memory in post-trauma contexts. The three visual artists are concerned with life after tragedy, and express personal reflections on history and remembering: Ana González and Nastaran Shahbazi present works in Hong Kong for the first time, accompanied by selected pieces by local artist Ivy Ma, well-known for her exploration of the relationship between reality and memory. Feminine and delicate in form, the works are infused with strength and commitment. The first part of the exhibition, intentionally dense and stifling, is a silent conversation of art pieces dealing with death, oppression and intolerance. It opens on a wider second section that considers memory and existence after displacement, war and loss, with an imagery of children’s dresses, solitary figures, empty spaces and reborn nature. The circulation in the exhibition space invites the visitor to roam back and forth between both rooms, in a movement resembling the cycles of destruction and rebirth through history: we are reminded to remember.
