From January 30th to May 10th, 2025, immerse yourself in the evocative and thought-provoking world of “The Bride Has Gone to Pick Flowers” at the esteemed CUE Art Foundation in the vibrant heart of New York City. This extraordinary group exhibition, masterfully curated by the visionary Lila Nazemian, offers a sanctuary for profound introspection and artistic exploration. Prepare to be enchanted by the captivating works of three remarkably talented artists, Levon Kafafian, Fatemeh Kazemi, and Levani, each weaving their unique narratives through diverse backgrounds and multidisciplinary practices. Together, they unravel the intricate threads of universal themes: the intoxicating power of love, the ever-evolving landscape of identity, and the mesmerizing fluidity that transcends cultural boundaries. Delving into the heart of marriage rituals from the Caucasus and far beyond, these artists boldly invite viewers to embark on a transformative journey. Question the traditions you have inherited, challenge societal norms, and open your mind to the boundless possibilities of reshaping these time-honored customs through a speculative and joyfully queer lens. “The Bride Has Gone to Pick Flowers” is not merely an exhibition; it is an invitation to witness the potent alchemy of art as it reimagines the very fabric of our cultural understanding.
