It is fitting that the archive serves as a starting point for many of Adili’s works, given that her practice centers largely on the exploration and translation of materials. You can see the influence of Fluxus on her works; like Fluxus, her multidisciplinary practice privileges process over the end product and radiates playfulness, even when kneading through loaded concepts like diaspora, familial longing, and loss. Cast in a visual vocabulary of poems, letters, and the Persian alphabet, Adili’s solo exhibition at the CUE Art Foundation yokes together her investigation of the Persian language with her long-standing interest in geopolitical displacement.
