Mishpocha: Tage des Exils. Mathroo Basha

In the organizer's words:

British artist and filmmaker Hetain Patel traces the generational change in his British-Gujarati family through movement explorations. His performance is based on interviews with women from his family who speak in Gujarati about inheritance, loss and the future. It traces what mother tongue (Mathroo Basha in Gujarati) means to Patel: loss, change and tradition. "Mathroo Basha" takes up rituals from Patel's family of origin and physically traces the emotional reality that the generational change entails.

In the exhibition "MISHPOCHA. The Art of Collaboration", three works by Patel can be seen: Phantom Family (2023), Cavalier Phui & Ben (2023) and Baa's Gold (Grandchildren, 2021). Following the performance, curator Dr. Franziska Krah will guide visitors through the exhibition. In his films, paintings, sculptures and performances, London-based artist Hetain Patel explores the themes of identity and freedom, combining choreography and text with popular culture. Dr. Franziska Krah is the curator of the exhibition "MISHPOCHA. The Art of Collaboration" and director of the Frank Family Center at the Jewish Museum.
