Zhu Zhuye maman: Sculpture Show & Interactive Performance

This sculpture exhibition and performance honors the artist’s lost baby, Zhubin. The sculptures, created shortly after the death of the artist’s newborn baby, reflect the feelings she was going through as a mom losing her child, transforming the pain to pieces of sculpture.

“Dakheel”
We are in a continuous repetitive world. All beings are in a constant cycle of birth and death. Life comes out of death and death comes after life. What makes our moments worth living is love, compassion, and unity. In the interactive performance, the artist will be playing a repetitive rhythm with the Iranian percussion instrument daf. Guests are welcome any time between 6:00pm – 9:00pm. They are invited to interact with the performance either by improvising a song, playing their choice of musical instrument, or by tearing a piece from the bottom of the long dress that the artist will be wearing, writing a wish on it and re-attaching it to the dress. The tradition of the wishing tree is common in several countries including Iran.
