NEW YORK, October 21, 2021— Hosted by artist, activist, and writer Morehshin Allahyari, Ha’mneshi (Farsi for “sitting together”) is a series of poetic rituals and personal storytellings conducted by Allahyari in collaboration with guest speakers Nima Behravan, Angelina Marie Michael Meitzler, and members of the viewing audience. (1 hr., 3 min.)

Using the story of Huma (حمة) as a point of departure and the framework of survival justice, the event seeks to re-figure, unfold, and re-consider the popular phrase “we are all in this together.”

This program was presented in conjunction with the Asia Society Museum’s current exhibition Rebel, Jester, Mystic, Poet: Contemporary Persians—The Mohammed Afkhami Collection, on view through May 8, 2022.
