Information

The exhibition Under Shadows conceived for KORNFELD Galerie Berlin brings together new and recent works by Tamara Kvesitadze and Shunxiang Hu — two female artists whose lives and practices are shaped by profound social and political pressures. Each has lived under shadow — political, cultural, personal — and through their work, each steps out of it.

Opening of the exhibition on Saturday, June 14, 11 AM – 6 PM
Brunch from 12 PM – 3 PM
Artist Talk at 3 PM
Tereza de Arruda, art historian and curator, in conversation with the artists Tamara Kvesitadze, Shunxiang Hu, and Simin Jalilian
