ENDURANCE An exhibition of 8 Kurdish artists’ work, exploring everyday resilience in the face of on-going conflict

Event details

Please join us to celebrate the opening of ENDURANCE, a group exhibition taking place at the Street Gallery, Institute of Arab & Islamic Studies, University of Exeter, on Wednesday 27 May, from 12noon, including an artist’s talk and film premiere.
 
ENDURANCE explores how conflict continues beyond the spectacle of war; through memory, absence, and the quiet realities of everyday life. Focusing on Kurdish experiences across generations, the exhibition brings together film, photography, sound, installation, and live performance. What is it when the lived experience of endurance is given visible form, in contrast to the media spectacle of conflict?
 
Presented at the Street Gallery, Institute of Arab and Islamic Studies, University of Exeter, in partnership with Metrography Agency, Sulaymaniyah. ENDURANCE forms part of REWORLDING, the MA Curation graduation programme for 2026, with exhibitions and events taking place across the city of Exeter.
