Exhibition “The Dust Became the Breath” by Aidan Salakhova

Gazelli Art House is currently hosting an exhibition The Dust Became the Breath by Aidan Salakhova, a female artist with Russian descent. Her works talk about cultural and sexual identity, religion and spirituality, traditional symbols and journeys taken inward.

Born in Moscow in 1964, Aidan paved her path in a male-dominated art scene and through the region’s rigid socio-economical structures, becoming one of the most influential female figures in the Russian art scene.

In her works Aidan combines the Eastern Islamic world with Western feminist influences. Experimenting with implicit forms of time and memory, Aidan’s body of work elicits a sense of mysticism and transcendence, exploring the nature of feminine presence through time.

The event is free for everyone.
