About the exhibition

LUX is showing the first solo exhibition by artist and filmmaker Niki Kohandel.

The exhibition features her short film called Minevissam (I am writing) مينويسم.

The film tells an imaginary story about a poet, a painter, and an owl.

They speak to each other across different times and places.

The film explores how we remember things and how we share stories, especially when language and memories are fragmented.

Niki uses ideas from Iranian traditions like poetry, spoken stories and images to tell these stories in a new way.

She made the film with help from her family and friends.

Niki and her father wrote words and braille directly onto the film strips.

This makes the film something you can almost feel and touch.
