Shotor 〇 Morghe
ERIN CLULEY GALLERY is pleased to announce Shotor 〇 Morghe (SHOH-tohr morgh) an exhibition of work by 2025 Cluley Projects Open Call Winner Leili Arai Tavallaei. Shotor 〇 Morghe continues the artist’s exploration of cultural memory and familial archives through printmaking, sculptural assemblage, and figurative painting. Incorporating heirlooms and adages from across her multicultural heritage, Tavallaei’s practice brings together artifacts from Iranian and Japanese traditions into deft displays of emotional intimacy. Her new exhibition threads the line of historical preservation and honor. Translated memories from the artist’s ancestry form the base for a blended language representing her lived and inherited experiences.
