WENTRUP is pleased to present a dialogue among four female artists: Nevin Aladağ, Phoebe Boswell, Desire Moheb-Zandi, and Anastasia Samoylova.
Despite their unique perspectives and artistic styles, these artists share a common thread: roots outside Europe—specifically in Kurdistan, Kenya, Iran, and Russia. Their journeys to Europe, the UK, and the US, prompted by political and social taboos, persecution, and other factors, have profoundly influenced their art. In works showcased at prestigious events like the Venice Biennale, Documenta, Istanbul Biennale, and Lyon Biennale, all four artists honor their origins. They convey strength derived from reflecting on their grandparents and parents, bridging their heritage with their current artistic expressions.
