93 Fragments (2024-ongoing)

Produced by Washington Project for the Arts and hosted by The Corcoran School of Art and Design at GW, Rezaeipour’s most recent project 93 Fragments brought together the creative practices and methodologies of sixteen artists, writers, and thinkers from all over the world who are in direct and ongoing conversation with materials of cultural heritage.

Exhibiting artists included: The Collaborative Fragment Library, Saj Issa, Tsedaye Makonnen, Jackie Milad, Amanda Phingbodhipakkiya, Dima Srouji.

The exhibition was activated through performances by Tsedaye Makonnen and Fargo Nissim Tbakhi during the opening reception on November 14, 2024. Later programs included a screening of Sophia Al-Maria’s film The Future Was Desert followed by a sound bath led by artist Naoco Wowsugi (February 15, 2025) and a public conversation between sociologist Dr. Cresa Pugh and Jessica Valoris (March 1, 2025).

Students at GW’s Corcoran School of the Arts & Design also participated in the project with Rezaeipour through courses taught by Clement Akpang, whose research interests include decolonization of museology and new expressions of resistance in contemporary African art.

Additional contributors include Ibrahim Ahmed, Jeiran Jahani, Kasra Jalilipour, Solmaz Sharif, and Nyugen E. Smith who are all conversation partners in the continued development of this project, along with everyone listed above.
