Rosalind Nashashibi's DEEP REDDER: An Exhibition Exploring Film, Painting, and Family Structures

This exhibition showcases the work of artist Rosalind Nashashibi, focusing on her paintings and a new two-part film exploring themes of care, cohabitation, and alternative models of family structures. The exhibition delves into sociopolitical conditions and personal narratives through poetic and enigmatic cinematic collages.

Rosalind Nashashibi's exhibition 'DEEP REDDER' presents her paintings and a new, multi-part film that delves into the complexities of care, cohabitation, and the evolution of societal norms surrounding family structures. Nashashibi's practice consistently engages with the intersection of the private and the political, often exploring identity politics and cultural encounters through specific human biographies with empathy and respect. Her films eschew strict narratives, instead constructing poetic and enigmatic images from scenes of daily life, revealing layered realities and diverse social organizations from the family to the state. The film components are inspired by Ursula K. Le Guin's short story 'The Shobies’ Story' and the Chinese oracle text 'I Ching'. The films explore philosophical and psychological questions about interpersonal relationships within a group, particularly when community is built and then challenged by non-linear development and exceeding comprehension. Nashashibi's accompanying paintings, while abstracting and reducing forms, remain rooted in the representational, offering immediate expression and space for reflection, feelings, and spontaneity. For the exhibition's accompanying artist's book, Nashashibi invited artist Elena Narbutaite to engage in a dialogue with her works.
