Yang Yongliang Work from Imagined Landscape. “Imagined Landscape is conceived during the pandemic. When the world turned black and white during the 2020/2021 COVID lock-down, I stayed in New York re-thinking about Shanghai. The pandemic has affected everybody in the world, even though we might not be able to articulate what’s been changed in us, […]

Gohar Dashti Work from Land/s. “Regardless of who we are, our lives are layered and richly textured with physical and figurative uprooting(s) and migrations.
