"Through the lens of motherhood and early childhood, Lullaby examines the lasting impact of political imprisonment. Drawing from the histories of women detained for their political beliefs, the work explores how care, resistance and survival persist even under the most oppressive conditions. The installation reflects on the children born into imprisonment and the forms of resilience that emerge in spaces defined by restriction."
"The installation is a large-scale wooden cradle, normally a symbol of safety and nurture. Rather than offering comfort, however, the rocking cradle, accompanied by a compilation of folkloric lullabies, introduces a sense of unease, inviting viewers to consider how political systems shape lives from their earliest moments. The exhibition is presented by the Redwood City Improvement Association in collaboration with Fung Collaboratives."
"World Food Movement, formerly known as Sattvic Meals Foundation, announced that they have served 10,000 free, nutritious meals to Bay Area community college students, including those at Foothill College in Los Altos Hills. The Milpitas-based nonprofit aims to address hunger anxiety at community colleges. The nonprofit has also partnered with De Anza College in Cupertino and Chabot College in Hayward to provide meals at those campuses. The nonprofit's goal is to serve 1 million meals annually by 2030."
Nasim Moghadam presents Lullaby (Lalaee/) at Redwood City's Art Kiosk through Feb. 22. The installation examines the lasting impact of political imprisonment through the lens of motherhood and early childhood and draws from histories of women detained for political beliefs. The work explores how care, resistance and survival persist under oppressive conditions and reflects on children born into imprisonment and the resilience that emerges in restricted spaces. A large-scale wooden cradle accompanied by folkloric lullabies subverts a symbol of safety to introduce unease and prompt consideration of how political systems shape lives from their earliest moments. Separately, World Food Movement has served 10,000 free meals to Bay Area community college students and aims to serve 1 million meals annually by 2030.
