* * * * * * * * * * * * * * The Sediment exhibition reflects on the
impact of socio-political, ecological, and economic issues on the environments
we inhabit. This exhibition’s starting point is based on comprehensive
curatorial research in the archive of Loading, a non-profit art space
focused on Diyarbakir and its surrounding areas in southeastern Turkey,
which provides a layered perspective on the local art scene along with
the socio-political and environmental issues affecting the Kurdish-inhabited
regions. The strong positioning of women artists in the archive shaped
the project. The exhibition, as one of the outcomes of the research, brings
together names from the archive and two artists from Graz and Skopje,
by including locations from the Hevsel Gardens in the Tigris river basin
to the ancient city of Hasankeyf, as well as the rivers Vardar and Mur
This is the first exhibition in a series with guest curators.
