Ibtisam Tasnim Zaman: Faith in the Pilgrimage
Ibtisam Tasnim Zaman鈥檚 solo exhibition, 鈥業man, Al Safa WAl Marwa: Faith in the Pilgrimage鈥�, is a feature of works that use figurative surrealism to narrate the layers of systemic structures. A constant state of revealing 鈥榤anufactured nature鈥� through everyday life: in the mundane, journey to work, and overall culture of normalization. Zaman contrasts these dense realities, through depicting acts of intimacy, tenderness, paradox of motherhood, and love as acts of resistance in the midst of chaos.
The title 鈥業man, Al Safa WAl Marwa: Faith in the Pilgrimage鈥� is an homage to the historical journey of sa鈥檌 (seeking), the spiritual overlap between the belief in the one God, and its mirroring of our blind faith in empire.This analysis leads Zaman to identify the deep wells of faith within racial capitalism, revealing aspects of the government鈥檚 strategy to guarantee civilian belief in their systems. We all have Iman (faith), regardless of religion; and these faiths we believe in have limitations when placed within contexts of dominance, consumption, and worship to capitalism.
