Forough Absalan
We are excited to present Forough Absalan as our Studio AiR Green artist for September and October. Absalan is an artist based in Berlin, originally from Iran, currently staying in Oslo.
During the Air Green Artist Residency, Forough plans to focus on her current project titled with every grandma that falls, a mountain dies. This multimedia-textileart-installation is a tribute to the fading archives of ancestral knowledge, cultural practices, and the ecological damage intertwined with their loss

"My research is about how textile handcraft processes are entangled with telling stories, with signs and patterns emerging, with memorizing times. Textiles processes become part of a life story and an invitation for counter narratives. Textiles are carrier bags in a wider sense, a story of a creative process, of care, of a wisdom that lies in the whole process of something that takes so much work and is soaked with the thoughts of the people who made it. In many languages the word spinning is connected to communication, and I would like to learn how the two are genuinely connected. In my time at Søndre Green I would like to make a circular cloak and tell a circular story/memory with it. In order to practice the care of a beholder.
I'm really proud to have been chosen for a residency at Søndre Green and I'm looking so much forward to a quiet and focused working period in this beautiful surrounding. In a time where for me personally memory also reveals its soothing aspects, I'm more than happy have the chance to research with my hands and collect the content of the beholder."
