Rituals such as drinking tea together or doing handicrafts function as performative acts – repetitions that do not merely express identity but produce it. In these small gestures, a form of collective legibility is revealed: a universal language that is not universal through abstraction, but through its ability to continually re-situate itself in different bodies, times, and places.
Hemaseh Manawi Rad is a Dutch artist based in Eindhoven, working primarily with textiles and also exploring ceramics. In her practice, Manawi Rad becomes a storyteller, weaving colorful materials into a personal symbolic imagery. Her pieces often merge references from Western and West Asian cultures, creating compositions that invite viewers to reflect on the intersections between personal experience and collective memory.
