Conversation on Memory, Migration, and Art: Moderating an Artist Talk with Esha Sadr on Absence of Us at IA&A at Hillyer in Washington, DC
I had the pleasure of moderating an artist talk with Iranian multidisciplinary artist Esha Sadr about her exhibition Absence of Us at IA&A at Hillyer in Washington, DC as part of Second Saturday.
The exhibition is a powerful long-term interdisciplinary project where Sadr transforms used garments into vessels of memory, identity, and resilience. By treating clothing as a “second skin,” the works reveal the personal histories carried within everyday objects and reflect on the experience of migration—being present in a new place while remaining emotionally tied to another.
Absence of Us invites viewers to think about what we carry with us, what we leave behind, and how memory endures even when places change.
“How memory persists even though the place changes… is what this wonderful exhibition teaches us today.”

Honored to join Iranian multidisciplinary artist Esha Sadr for an upcoming artist talk about her exhibition Absence of Us at IA&A at Hillyer in Washington, DC.
A conversation on art, memory, and migration.
On Saturday, March 14, I will be in dialogue with Iranian artist Esha Sadr to explore her powerful exhibition Absence of Us at IA&A at Hillyer in Washington, DC.
Absence of Us transforms worn garments into sculptural narratives of memory, identity, and resilience. Through installation, mixed media, video, and collective participation, Sadr reflects on the emotional landscape of migration—the experience of being present in one place while feeling the enduring absence of another.
Our conversation will explore the ideas, materials, and personal histories embedded in this work, as well as the broader questions it raises about displacement, belonging, and the traces we carry with us across borders.
We hope you will join us for what promises to be a thoughtful and engaging dialogue.
📍 IA&A at Hillyer
📅 Saturday, March 14

Inside the Closing Night of Transversal Imprint: Cultures, Places, Selves.
What an extraordinary conclusion to Transversal Imprint: Cultures, Places, Selves at the DC Arts Center.
The closing gathering was more than a celebration; it was a culmination of dialogue, introspection, and shared creative energy. The works — spanning photography, painting, and installation — invited a profound meditation on belonging, displacement, and cultural memory.
Curated by Zixin Shang, the exhibition assembled a powerful roster of artists — Ramin Etemadi-Bozorg, Zeqian Hu, Kevin Kwon, Ran Feng, Dina A.Z. Salem, and Hazal Weil — whose practices intersect across geographies and sensibilities, yet collectively articulate the intimate complexities of self and place.
Special thanks to my friends Ramin (@raminetemadib) and Esha (@eshasadr) — your vision and artistic integrity continue to inspire, resonating far beyond the gallery walls.
