Look Me in the Eyes interrogates conditions of migration and immigration in the West. In her largest museum solo presentation to date, Kahraman draws upon her longstanding motif of heavily browed, lidded eyes to expose the simultaneous surveillance and erasure of othered bodies.
The exhibition features all new work encompassing paintings, large-scale sculptures, and a deeply personal audio installation.
Look Me in the Eyes was first shown at the Institute of Contemporary Art San Francisco, 2024.
