Unheld II is an experimental audio-visual piece that explores tender moments of disassociation and dislocation in female bodies—gestures of release that signal a quiet liberation from systems of oppression. It serves as a requiem for displacement, holding on to fragments of home while embracing an identity that can only begin to emerge at a distance from the homeland.
Unheld II is rooted in the shared emotional landscape of Kimia Koochakzadeh-Yazdi and Saghi Ehteshamzadeh, and the deep sense of mutuality and connection they bring to performing together.
