Jala Wahid’s print is based on a still from her film ‘Cry Me a Waterfall’. Taking the form of an extended music video, the work includes a performance by Amal Saeed Kurda of ‘Cry Me A Waterfall’, a newly composed English language love song written to Bekhal waterfall in Kurdistan. The work explores the problematic feelings of nationalism and wanting to claim a land that has been denied Kurds, through the desire to either conquer or have communion with it. It considers the fluid and fictive space that homeland can occupy beyond geographical definitions of statehood and the symbiosis of identity as synonymous with stateless land. Jala Wahid’s unique print is available to collect in a limited edition of 100.
