The Disturbance is Part of Me

In the event series “After the weekly market”, a video loop by the Iranian artist Sana Ghobbeh, who was a scholarship holder of the Schleswig-Holstein House of Artists in 2015, will be shown on Saturday, 12 August 2023 at 12:30 in the event room of otte1.

Her performance “Red leaves no trace” had made a deep impression on visitors to Eckernförde’s spa beach in August 2015. Her two-hour action appeared on the front page of the Eckernförde newspaper published by SHZ-Verlag and in large print in the Eckernförde city pages of the Kieler Nachrichten.

The video by Sana Ghobbeh deals with a topic that is still topical, the veiling of women. For some, the piece of cloth is a sign of great piety. Critics of Islam see it as an expression of fundamentalism and the oppression of women.
