The exhibition presents new and existing works across media that continue the artist’s study and artistic reinterpretation of healing and ceremonial migratory practices of people of the Arabian Peninsula who seek to repair one’s relationship with oneself, the earth, and other beings. In Farah’s work, images of landscape and the body merge, tracing affinities between geologic time, somatic movement, ancestral knowledge, and ceremonial rituals. In her performance and video works, movement manifests as an embodiment of agency through which she explores ways to reimagine traditional practices to address trauma, the marginalization of women and immigrant people, and the climate crisis today.
