An Injury On the Diasporic Imagination: Chad Wong & Pegah Tabassinejad.Reception May 8th, 6–8pm
An Injury On the Diasporic Imagination foregrounds the transactional nature of citizenship and movement, the politics of diasporic belonging, and the fractured ways in which images and memories of landscapes, people, and moments of societal rupture are formed and proliferated in a world shaped by the domineering presence of surveillance and digital culture.
Through aesthetic techniques rooted in digital and surveillance media—including glitch, repetition, redaction, and the pervasiveness of the illegible image—exhibiting artists Chad Wong and Pegah Tabassinejad explore the dual function of surveillance imagery as both a tool of oppression and a means of bearing witness, documenting place, and reasserting one’s humanity.
