Uvdeshmukh Uncategorized November 4, 2024 Born and raised in Germany, Kara is also part of a Kurdish Alevi family that was forced to flee Turkey due to persecution—a theme that Kara has only recently started to explore more actively in her art. “In the beginning, it was definitely a deliberate decision to leave it all behind, the idea of belonging to my identity and the political tensions of being both German and Kurdish. I wanted to see what was left,” she says. In a show this past winter at her Cologne gallery, Jan Kaps, she displayed a highly personal video, Emine (2018), which depicts her aging grandmother, the only one in her family who still speaks their native Zazaki language. “There’s an inner dialogue going on,” says Kara. “What does it mean to have Kurdish roots? I don’t have an answer yet.” https://artsorigin.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/pexels-photo-3779015-e1629964787598.jpeg
