Courtyard of Memory
An ongoing artistic research on the practice and ritual of طاسة الرعبة the Fear Healing Bowls, at SLARG, Sint Lucas Antwerp, 2023-2024.
The Fear Healing Bowls are part of the arts of protection in Islamic tradition, practiced in the Levant, North Africa and South Asia across time. Through many layers, such as engraved prayers, ornamental elements, symbols of Divinity, craft knowledge(s), water and sound: this bowl is seen as a medicinal ritualistic tradition of soothing and generational relations.
For this research, I want to explore rituals of creating a liminal space or 'Barzakh' as a sharing spacetime that could allow for personal and collective remembrance.
