Experience the artist's first solo show in Texas at the Moody Center for the Arts in Houston. Hayv Kahraman: The Foreign in Us is an exhibition featuring over 40 captivating works. Drawing inspiration from her Iraqi-Kurdish heritage and personal experience as a refugee, Kahraman's art delves into the decolonization of the body and nature. By challenging the fear and unease associated with otherness, the artist advocates for compassion and acceptance. Through her unique compositions, Kahraman addresses questions influenced by immunology, microbiology, and history. The portrayal of the othered body, often in contortionist postures, serves to interrogate normative gender constructs and racial stereotypes that impact migrant communities. This thought-provoking exhibition showcases a selection of more than forty paintings and drawings from public and private collections in the United States and abroad. Alongside the large-scale canvases, the showcase includes intimate drawings, highlighting the artist's meticulous draftsmanship and mastery of line and color. Spanning the past five years of her practice, the artworks presented in this exhibition trace Kahraman's evolution in technique and thematic focus while emphasizing the lasting impact of displacement and the healing power of cultural reconnection. Don't miss this poignant and timely opportunity to reconsider our relationship with difference and embrace collaboration over fear. Mark your calendar for the opening reception of Hayv Kahraman: The Foreign in Us at the Moody Center for the Arts in Houston on January 12, 2024. Admission is free.
