Body as Land, Land as Memory

 This group show, curated by Sahar Tarighi and featuring seven MFA artists from the graduate seminar Embodied Resistance: Art of Decolonization, explores resistance to hegemonic power structures through personal memory, myth, and material.

 What does it mean to resist with your body, your story, and your art? From mythology—such as the Procrustean Bed and the Tower of Babel—to the layered histories of land, language, and identity, these works ask not only what is remembered, but how we come to know and reclaim what has been suppressed.

 Through sculpture, video, drawing, photography, and ceramics, the artists explore embodied knowledge, ancestral memory, and alternative ways of knowing as acts of resistance to dominant narratives.
