This video podcast is part of mohit.art NOTES #16 and was live-streamed on Wednesday, 30/07/2025. It features guest editor and artist Rana Severi, as well as the other contributors to this issue: filmmaker and curator Mana Tashakorinia; researcher and writer (n)iki shadloo and lens-based artist Shahrzad Darafsheh. They are joined by art historian and curator Hannah Jacobi from mohit.art to discuss the idea of hope, which is becoming more important and relevant every day.
Together, they speak about magical beliefs and poetic knowledges, how text and images are connected to experiences of migration and the deep desire to belong, creating a “third language” for hope, and the importance of the possibilities inherent in every artistic process.
