From Slander’s Brand
November 9, 2023 @ 10:00 am - February 4, 2024 @ 5:00 pm
The Polygon Gallery presents From Slander’s Brand from Nov. 10, 2023–Feb. 4, 2024, an exhibition bringing together three monumental works by Hannah Darabi, Rachel Khedoori, and Ron Terada. In response to transformational historical periods — the 1979 Iranian Revolution, the Iraq War of 2003, and the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic — each artist asks how art acts as a witness, interlocutor, and critical reflector on pivotal moments of historical trauma and transformation. The artworks employ language found in books, newspapers, and websites to create a new kind of “picture” of each of these momentous periods.
