Submergence

Supported by Create NSW, Mehwish Iqbal’s newly commissioned solo exhibition Submergence and installation Chinar is being presented at FCMG.

Exploring complex issues of migration and settlement, Submergence lays bare the relationships between survival and coping strategies for those who experience a new culture. 

Mehwish Iqbal: "Submergence is a response to the geopolitical upheaval that forces individuals to leave their homelands in a state of perplexity, highlighting the role of the natural environment in the social, cultural, and spiritual lives of these individuals."
