- Summary:
- "CAM presents Hayv Kahraman: Acts of Reparation, highlighting the evolution of the artist's practice where the protagonist female body is pictured in various sequences and activities. Fueled by her experience as an Iraqi immigrant, Kahraman is concerned with the multitude rather than the self. Kahraman says of her protagonist, “She is one who dwells in the margins, surviving and navigating a life of spatial and temporal displacement. She is at once an agent of both personal and collective memorial transmission and an interrogator of future and present realities. Acts of Reparation presents a collection of paintings that span multiple bodies of work from 2011 to the present. All works offer insights into the notion of migrant consciousness, resulting in an endless process of mending. \” Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis
