prof. fazilat soukhakian opens solo exhibition at material, slc
July 30, 2024
Associate Professor Fazilat Soukhakian will open “Under the Same Sky,” August 9-September 20, 2024 at Material in Salt Lake City. An opening is scheduled for Aug. 9, with an artist talk at 5:30pm and reception at 6-9pm.
Through this exhibition, Soukhakian invites viewers to a visual dialogue that transcends borders and fosters empathy. “Under the Same Sky” is a journey through time and space, captured through personal experience and observation. The collection spans from 2006 to the present, reflecting dual perspectives from Iran to the United States. Despite the stark differences between these societies, the photographs highlight universal themes of pain, loss, grief, inequality, discrimination, and injustice that transcend geographical boundaries.
The exhibition marks the first anniversary of Material and Soukhakian’s first solo exhibition in Salt Lake City.
In addition to the Aug. 9 opening, the exhibition will be available for viewing on Friday, August 16, 6-8pm as part of Salt Lake City’s Gallery Stroll, during the closing reception on Friday, September 20, 6-8pm, and by appointment with the gallery. Material is located at 2970 S W Temple Street.
