Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis
March 25 – July 24, 2022
Alia Farid’s multidisciplinary practice - ranging from writing and drawing to film and sculpture - gives visibility to narratives that are obscured by hegemonic power. At CAM, Farid presents the video installation At the Time of the Ebb (2019), a poetic meandering through Nowruz Sayadeen, the Fisherman’s New Year festival in Qeshm, a vast island in the Persian Gulf at the mouth of Iran. Nowruz Sayadeen (“new day”) takes place annually on the summer solstice, the longest day of sunlight of the year. It involves members of the community dressing up and dancing in celebration of nature.
