Ana de Almeida & Huda Takriti
(In)verso. Between the Lens and the Archive

Exhibition

This dual exhibition interweaves parallel strands of two artistic research projects dealing with subjective, image-based approaches to migration and memory in a joint spatial installation.

Taking her cue from the photo archive of her father, who lived in Prague between 1978 and 1987, Ana de Almeida examines contrasting revolutionary phases: the failed Prague Spring of 1968, the Carnation Revolution of 1974, and the emerging Velvet Revolution of 1989. The artist transforms historical photos and videos into sculptural display elements that traverse the space like a city trail.

Huda Takriti uses the artistic legacy and photo album of her grandmother, who lived in Kuwait in the 1960s, to shed light on the region’s transnational entanglements. Her central video installation On Another Note (2024), as well as her collages and textile prints, revolve around a family history that was determined by concerns about Palestinian statelessness.
