Radical Roots
Halva and Grief: Narges Mohammadi

KABK
2022
In collaboration with Narges Mohamadi
Comissioned by KABK Studium Generale

On November 24th, 2022, we were invited to take part in Future Soils, a conversation hosted by Victoria McKenzie and Venus Jasper, as part of Earthcraft curated by Erika Sprey at KABK.

For this gathering, we invited Narges Mohammadi to share her stories through halva; a material deeply rooted in both her life and artistic practice. Its resemblance to soil, and its role as a food of grief, resonated with the themes of the evening.

As the scent of cardamom filled the room, Narges prepared halva alongside pots pre-cooked by her mother, offering us her stories with openness.
