A DAY IN ABU DHABI

10.00 am.

421. 

And The Mirrors Are Many & Mahshid Rafie : Of Mythic Proportions. 

"And The Mirrors Are Many" investigates institutional repositories of memory-the museum, the memorial and the archive-and poses the questions: why do we remember, and how? By examining these contemporary modes of remembering, the exhibition considers the relationship between remembrance and history, and reflects on the aesthetics, techniques, provenance, and language that are deployed in the process of memory-making.

This exhibition is curated by Mona Al-Jadir and emerged from a year-long journey as part of the 421 Curatorial Development Exhibition Program in collaboration with The Bombay Institute for Critical Analysis and Research (BICAR) and with mentorship from curator Sabih Ahmed.
