______
Payam Sharifi, founding member of the collective, talks about Slavs and Tatars’ artistic practice and the exhibition process for MAYATEPEK. Here, they conceived works that explore the common heritage —speculative or real— between the indigenous peoples of Central America and the Turkic peoples. The exhibition brings together five bodies of work: False Friends (ceramics and mirrors) —both made in Mexico— along with Bazm u Razm, Bandari String Fingerling, Who Are You?, Alphabet (Uighur), and Saturday, previously exhibited works.
