This is a collaboration between Dafna Rehavia a mixed-media artist and art therapist David Hanauer a poet, autoethnographer and journaler.
Curated by Oreen Cohen, a sculptor, painter, mother, curator, and cultural programmer.
This project touches upon the self as a wounded object which retains the memories and scars of past personal, familial and cultural trauma. In our artistic practice, the bodily sensations and semi-consciousness memories are embodied through the art and poetic processes.
The artists approach their dialogue through art and poetry in layers that represent the way memories of difficult experiences are hidden and yet still present. The layers manifest the embodied emotions and the communicative echo between the artists, the past and one’s self. The layering process manifest in the stitching and collaging is an artistic mending process with a sense of temporariness that brings into presence those things that are too difficult to present.
The project is supported by STAUNTON FARM FOUNDATION, RADIANT HALL ORG. ARTISTS IMAGE RESOURCES INC. and BRIGHT ARCHIVES Independent production house.
Open weekly: Monday, Wednesday, Friday 12-8pm
