SUMMARY:Artist’s Rooms: Amba Sayal-Bennett
DESCRIPTION:Works spanning the last eight years of the artist’s practice that critically engage with the socio-political contexts of architectural heritage and modernist ideologies and aesthetics. Drawing is at the centre of Amba Sayal-Bennett’s practice\, expanding across works on paper\, projections and sculptural installations; she is particularly interested in the nature of abstraction\, using technology in the form of language\, tools\, methods and materiality to stage relations and engagement between human and non-human. \nWithin her work\, Sayal-Bennett critiques the tendency of colonial practices to decontextualise and appropriate. She traces the migration of architectural forms across continents\, such as to Chandigarh in Punjab\, the birthplace of her maternal grandparents\, and where Le Corbusier’s purpose-built city examines the failings of modernism in post-colonial contexts. She explores modernism’s rejection of ornamentalism as well as her interest in sci-fi aesthetics\, a genre which has long been criticised for its colonial overtones. \nJameel’s Artists Rooms series gives a single gallery over to a solo exhibition by influential\, innovative artists\, with a particular focus on practitioner from the Middle East\, Asia and Africa. These capsule shows are collaborative and curated in dialogue with the artist. \nTo 24 November.

SUMMARY:Artist’s Rooms: Augustine Paredes
DESCRIPTION:Augustine Paredes’ artist’s room brings together his own personal histories and stories that explore his relationship to identity and family via his personal journey as a migrant\, navigating constantly between time\, places and identities. Gradually moving away from the camera as a main source of image-making\, he has embraced a more process-based approach that focuses on the inherent qualities and agency of materials used within his work. \nThe exhibition’s central work is Mother – a portrait of Marife\, an all-important figure in his life and one that embodies his connection to home and sense of belonging. Other works present traces of burns\, verses of poems\, paintings\, ink stains\, fibres\, pearls and wool threads. Together\, these works explore the artist’s reflections on guilt\, desire and devotion. \nJameel’s Artists Rooms series gives a single gallery over to a solo exhibition by influential\, innovative artists\, with a particular focus on practitioner from the Middle East\, Asia and Africa. These capsule shows are collaborative and curated in dialogue with the artist. \nTo 24 November.

SUMMARY:Artist’s Rooms: Sancintya Mohini Simpson
DESCRIPTION:Sancintya Mohini Simpson is a descended from indentured labourers sent from India to work on colonial sugar plantations in South Africa; her work navigates the complexities of migration\, memory and trauma\, moving between painting\, video\, poetry and performance to address gaps and silences within the colonial archive and reflect on her lineage.

SUMMARY:Sibel: dir Çagla Zencirci\, Guillaume Giovanetti (2018)
DESCRIPTION:The French-Turkish couple Çagla Zencirci and Guillaume Giovanetti have directed several films together\, and Sibel – their third feature – is a film festival favourite.  Sibel is  a mute\, but she communicates by using the ancestral whistled language of the area. Rejected by her fellow villagers\, she relentlessly hunts down a wolf that is said to be prowling in the neighbouring forest\, sparking off fears and fantasies among the village women; she crosses path with a fugitive\, the first person to take a fresh look at her … Sibel weaves together folklore\, gender roles and a fitful kind of emancipation in the story of a young woman desperate to counter the ostracism of her fellow villager in a secluded part of the mountains of Turkey. In Turkish with English subtitles.
