Origin by Anahita Sadighi x WLP on view 2-10 May

Origin. On Feminist Resistance, Craft and Memory

An exhibition curated by Anahita Sadighi in collaboration with White Label Project

Origin is an interdisciplinary exhibition by Galerie Anahita Sadighi and White Label Project that brings together art, design and craft from the Global South in a poetic and political dialogue. At its core are the voices of women – artists, makers and activists – whose work connects feminist thought, cultural memory and social transformation.

The exhibition creates a conversation between historical artifacts and contemporary works. Persian ceramics, Mbuti-Textilien textiles and nomadic weavings enter into dialogue with photographs, installations and pieces by artists such as Forough Alaei, Yumna Al-Arashi, Wenxin Zheng, Gabriella Alatorre, and design objectes by women-led brands from the White Label Project network.

A central motif is the amphora – a vessel often associated with femininity, fertility and transformation. Recontextualised through a delicate floral intervention, it becomes a symbol of the body, of nature, and of remembered histories.

Origin marks the beginning of a curatorial series that highlights artistic practices by women from non-Western contexts. The exhibition is also dedicated to the feminist movement in Iran and the global resonance of Woman, Life, Freedom.
