Elnaz Javani, una artista iraní-estadounidense nacida en Irán en 1985 y que actualmente reside en Estados Unidos, presenta una serie de obras textiles que incluyen seis abrigos con características distintivas en el festival Art Central de Hong Kong. Las piezas invitan a los hongkoneses a reflexionar sobre temas de memoria y conflicto en el contexto de la guerra actual en Oriente Medio. Javani comentó al South China Morning Post que su obra también sirve como un espacio de meditación para los habitantes de Hong Kong en un momento de crecientes tensiones geopolíticas a nivel mundial, y representa sus propias luchas pasadas con la identidad. "Mis ideas parten de la memoria personal, pero la transforman en narrativas imaginadas en lugar de una documentación directa", señaló. "Espero que el público se lleve una sensación de la complejidad emocional de la experiencia vivida; la forma en que la memoria, el desplazamiento y la historia personal se transmiten a través del cuerpo, los objetos y los materiales". La obra se encuentra actualmente expuesta en Art Central, que estará abierto hasta el domingo en Central Harbourfront.
