Silent Conversations, Tashkeel, March 12 – April 30 2009
We all participate in frequent conversations as part of our daily lives – with family, friends and colleagues and even complete strangers. Through this interaction we exchange ideas and information, express our feelings, learn and grow as people. However, almost 50% of all communication is unspoken – relying on human actions, reactions and expressions. As a result of differences in culture, education and experience these can frequently be misinterpreted.
Artists constantly seek to provoke external responses through articulation of an internal dialogue, creating a non-verbal form of communication that might have universal resonance.
