Amitis Motevalli in collaboration with Hesam Abedani and Bahareh Daneshagar LACE Youtube Channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKVWGnDf1Vm2tuB1awaj5Qw Friday August 28th, 11:59pm PST (the night of Ashura) Since its founding in 1978, LACE has dedicated itself to providing an experimental platform for artists within our Los Angeles community to amplify the voices of the unheard. Among the artists connected to our ongoing genealogy of resistance and activism, is artist Amitis Motevalli, who has continuously participated in tracing LACE history. An Offering of Honor challenges the normalization of domestic and intimate violence against women and the under-reported cases of femicide across the globe. The performance highlights patriarchal power structures interlaced with the idea of nation-state, the impact on its people, and the tense relationship between the US and Iran.
