Helena Tahir works in the field of printmaking, painting and drawing. This year she is completing a two-year Young Artists Residency at MGLC Švicarija. The Last Sector is a series developed by the artist over the long term as an intimate return to the silenced past of her father and his homeland, the country of Iraq. It comprises photographs, prints with embroidery, an artist’s book, video, archival material and drawings made with indigo paper. The works are symbols of memories, now revealed and transformed into a coherent nevertheless still fragmented narrative of a family.

The exhibitions is part of the series From the Studios, which presents the current practice of the artists working at MGLC Švicarija.

The exhibition opens on Wednesday, 5 February 2025 at 6 pm at MGLC Švicarija. Damijan Kracina's exhibition Navigation will open at the same time.
