On the occasion of Berlin Art Week, on Saturday, 13 September, Galerie AC. Art & Dialogue presents the exhibition Acts of Conflations, bringing together eight artists and two collectives selected from last year’s Sumac Open Call. It invited artists, curators, and research bodies who engaged with contemporary urges in socio-political circumstances of West Asia to submit their work and projects. The selection process was carried out by an international jury consisting of Jonatan Habib Engqvist, Dr. Nat Muller, and Angelika Stepken.
Agil Abdullayev, Hüseyin Aksoy, Reyhaneh Mirjahani, Yasmin Noorbakhsh, Saayeh Sayyah, Helena Tahir, Yaqeen Yamani, Orta Okul, Abbas Zahedi, and ZînKolektif share a research thread on identity, memory, and socio-political struggle, exploring how personal stories connect with broader historical and cultural forces. Their work examines the layered nature of individual and collective identity, often drawing on family and cultural memory while also addressing the challenges faced by marginalized communities. They investigate physical and metaphorical spaces as places of conflict, negotiation, and resistance, questioning dominant narratives. At the heart of it all, what persists is hope and resilience—the quiet but unshakable force that carries these stories forward.
