About

We cordially invite you to EYES, COME BACK – a staged exhibition by Setareh Shahbazi with Mirene Arsanios, Haytham el-Wardany, Ann-Kristin Hamm, Nancy Naser Al Deen, Sama Ahmadi, Reihaneh Mehrad, Sedami Gracia Elvis Theodor Ophelia Azilinon, Malonda, and more.

Setareh Shahbazi is the 2024/2025 recipient of Wi Di Mimba Wi – a commission prize by AKB-Stiftung & SAVVY Contemporary. EYES, COME BACK is a solo show that pushes against the contained vision of an artist as a singular body or as a singular creator. Instead, the exhibition unfolds as an evolving collaborative inquiry into memory and its ruptures, forging a collective gaze through which to look upon the world and ourselves. In doing so, EYES, COME BACK becomes both a meditation on remembrance and a refusal to forget.

In a historical moment when the facades of democracy crumble across the West, Shahbazi’s work holds a critical urgency, channelling the disruptive spirit of the trickster and the power of an interconnected gaze. Speaking and seeing in dream states, with the saturation of lives lived in between peripheries, Shahbazi’s practice invites us to squint and stare into the murky depths that connect the struggles of Tehran to Beirut, Beirut to Berlin, and far beyond.
