Passing On Resilience
15:00 - 20:00 
NGA,

Passing On Resilience is a two-day programme about acts of remembering over generations, and in places. Memories are not just made by personal experiences. They can be passed down across passages of time through epigenetics and culture, especially when they are linked to trauma.

Sevda Khatamian

 

One of the good things about life is that it changes, all the time; good or bad, nothing seems to last forever. Together, we practice understanding the positive aspects of each day, as well as going through the challenging moments. We will make paintings, drawings, and we'll take our time to look closely at the paintings in the museum. Using our imagination and writing down our thoughts will help us reflect on our day and let go of unwanted feelings. We will practice being present, time is now.

A notebook will be our souvenir to carry this exercise to our next day, and the one after that.

Sevda Khatamian, born in the summer of 89, Tehran, Iran. In 2008, she moved to Ankara, Turkey, to study Graphic Design in Hacettepe University. She moved to Istanbul to follow her practices as an independent artist. After eight years of living in Turkey, she was obliged to journey again, move out of Turkey in order to find someplace that could be called home. She's been traveling as an artist-in-residence since 2016 for most of the time, staying in different countries for long periods to better understand the area's culture and locality. At the moment, She's based in Vilnius, Lithuania, to collaborate on a collective project.
