With the Name of a Flower (Four Corners Gallery)

    Research output: Non-textual formExhibition

    Abstract

    "With the Name of a Flower" is a solo exhibition by Bulgarian artist Vera Hadzhiyska exploring the forced name changes of Bulgarian Muslims taking into consideration the past and present historical and political context. The exhibition is a culmination of Vera's MA Photography degree at the University of Portsmouth.

    Vera is interested in how these historical events have affected the cultural, religious and national identity of people who experienced them and their descendants. How memories have been preserved or purposefully omitted from family narratives, resulting in a shift of identity and sense of belonging of the younger generations.

    The exhibition showcased new work by the artist including a multi-channel sound installation, performative video installations, self-portraits from the series "Vera", archival documents and more.
