OPENING TUESDAY!
What I Made When My People Were Dying
Aynaz Raoufian and Mona Sahi | MFA Intermedia
October 13 - 24, 2026
In their joint MFA Intermedia exhibition, Aynaz Raoufian and Mona Sahi explore themes of memory, grief, loss, care and language, through performance, installation, sculpture, and interactive media.
-----------------
Aynaz Raoufian | What I Made When My People Were Dying "explores memory, grief, and the ways our bodies and relationships hold experiences of illness. Nothing is more inclusive for humans on earth than loss; only its forms and intensity are different, while the imposition of death is something that is not equally shared. Drawing from the artist’s experience of caring for her sister with cancer, the works bring together durational performance, installation, sculpture, and interactive media to explore individual and collective experiences of care, memory, and survival. Visitors are invited to reflect on their own experiences and consider how personal histories connect to wider social and political realities."
Performance | Mal-memory
Wednesday, October 21 | 1 - 4:30 p.m. & Saturday, October 24 | 12 - 3 p.m.
-----------------
Mona Sahi | "This exhibition explores resistance, violence, and the experience of living with political uncertainty. Drawing on my experiences growing up in Iran and living abroad, I use materials to reflect on what is remembered, hidden, destroyed, and made visible. The works invite viewers to encounter these reflections through physical and sensory situations that can be unsettling, fragile, or difficult to ignore. Together, they ask us to consider how the suffering of others becomes visible to us, and what responsibility we have when we choose to look or look away."
