View of the exhibition
Julie Mehretu’s work is difficult to reduce to a single interpretation. Her multi-layered compositions, built from lines, traces, maps, and gestures, invite viewers to look closely and ask questions about memory, history, movement, and a changing world.
During the guided tour, three female voices representing different generations will come together to examine the same works from different perspectives. Each guide brings her own experiences, sensibilities, and way of interpreting the images, demonstrating that the meaning of the works arises not only from the artists’ intentions but also from a dialogue with the viewer. Together, we will reflect on how we view abstraction, what triggers our memories, how we interpret the traces left on the canvas, and how our experiences influence our interpretation of art. The event will be an opportunity to discuss what sets us apart, but also how much we can discover by listening to one another.
We invite you to view the artist’s works together and discuss how experience, memory, and age influence the way we interpret art.
