Returning memories masquerade in light and shadow, and windows, or in some everyday object. They don\u2019t reveal themselves easily, and this is what makes them interesting.<\/em> 
\u2014Mohammed Sami<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Writing Art<\/strong> introduces a new series of events exploring recent works in the Astrup Fearnley Collection through the practice of ekphrasis. In collaboration with poet Ibrahim Nasser, Head of Education Marie Vallestad will guide participants through selected artworks and creative writing sessions. Audiences are invited to experience the artworks through their own poetic interpretations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the third writing workshop, we turn to the painting Yesterday on Shelves<\/em> (2023) by Mohammed Sami <\/strong>(b. 1984, Baghdad, Iraq). Sami\u2019s artistic practice revolves around episodic memory \u2013 the recollection of personal experiences and individual events. Having fled Iraq in 2007, his paintings explore belated memories as they suddenly and unexpectedly resurface through everyday objects or sensory impressions. Drawing on the traditional use of metaphor and euphemism in Arabic literature, his works articulate war, loss, and exile in an indirect way, often through depicting seemingly ordinary objects. <\/p>\n\n\n
