until 15.11. | #4836ARTatBerlin | Galerie Tammen shows from Friday, 17. October 2025 an exhibition by the artists Fahar Al-Salih and Myriam Schahabian.
The Power of Gentleness – A Hidden Force
In a world marked by fragmentation and acceleration, gentleness appears as a radical gesture—an act of quiet resistance and poetic strength. This exhibition understands gentleness not as fragility, but as a form of resilience: a nuanced, often invisible force that resists through care, presence, and intimate attention. In the exhibition, this concept takes shape through the works of Fahar Al-Salih and Myriam Schahabian—artists whose practice reflects fragmented histories, cultural intersections, and emotional terrains. Their works unfold like whispered memories in multi-layered narratives that demand to be viewed slowly and attentively.
Fahar Al-Salih’s photographic and sculptural series “Baghdad Blues” and “Mosaics” depict living spaces and urban landscapes, tracing the contours of a city that remains in memory and is imagined. Rather than focusing exclusively on loss, his work suggests that gentle remembrance is also a form of reclaiming.
Myriam Schahabian, „o.T.“, 2024, Stoneware, engobe, hand-printed, glazed, 42 x 28 cm
Myriam Schahabian’s ceramic sculptures, vases, and installations combine painting, architecture, and writing to create hybrid forms. In her hands, material becomes metaphor—porous, open, alive. Her works reflect subtle dialogues between the innermost depths of memory and the external forces of political realities.
