Êvar Hussayni’s multi-disciplinary practice focuses on Kurdish genealogies, colonial violence in archives and their relationship with the trajectory of Kurdish identities and feminisms. In her analysis of archives, she investigates the psychological impact of the archived material; what role does archiving play in shaping freedom - specifically that of occupied people and lands? How far does the current archive privilege particular narratives and create bias in the collective memory? Êvar’s endeavour is to assess the implications of archival structures on Kurdish identity formation. Êvar is also the founder of the The West Asian and North African Women’s Art Library, challenging the colonial lens in the archive and prioritizing experimental and alternative research methods and systems.
