Imagine Home. Het Noordbrabants Museum, ‘s-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands

Mirna Bamieh participates in a group show 'Imagine Home' in the Netherlands at Het Noordbrabants Museum. The show will be on view from February 3 until June, 2024

The exhibition explores the challenges faced by those forcibly displaced, and the role of experiences in creating a sense of home. The artworks focus on the sensory aspect, drawing attention to specific places engraved in memory.

For ‘Imagine Home’, Mirna Bamieh has created a new installation entitled Sour Things: The Pantry (2024). With it, she zooms in on the idea of a pantry and preservation of food. What if the future is uncertain? When you might have to leave your home at any moment? How does the pantry space of the displaced feel like? With her installation, Bamieh turns the pantry into a fragile and shaky construction, on the thin line between decay and preservation.
