On all we have - not even ours

Exhibition Text

The four-person exhibition all we have - not even ours brings together projects by Sarah Ama Duah, Tamer El Said, Gail Foley and Ana Korkia that deal with the artists’ own family history. Connected through their use and transformation of personal archives, they reflect on the experience of flight and displacement, bureaucratic brutality, queer life and the absence of memory.
