Hold Everything Dear

​

This 10-minute performance piece by Hajra Waheed in collaboration with Clea Minaker translates elements of the artist’s material practice into light and shadow. Set to a dedicated audio recording, an intimate letter from her sister, the work speaks to legacies of colonial violence and acts as both cry and call as it traces back a perpetuating history, while simultaneously projecting forward an undefeated desire for a better future.
