NEW YORK, NY 一 All Street Gallery is pleased to announce its upcoming exhibition, Here & Elsewhere, a group exhibition spotlighting women printmakers whose practices engage grief, reproduction, and rebirth. The show features works by Golnar Adili, Paria Ahmadi, Setare Arashloo, Ashley Page, and Kyung Eun You and is co-curated by All Street Collective members, Eden Chinn and Cora Hume-FaginHere & Elsewhere will be on view from October 17 to November 30, 2025, at All Street Gallery’s East Village location (77 East Third Street, New York, NY, 10003).

Rooted in the history of printmaking as a tool for dissemination and collective storytelling, Here & Elsewhere reconsiders the medium as a site of personal, cultural, and intergenerational reckoning. Printmaking has long been mobilized for mass communication yet it also carries an equally powerful capacity to hold intimate narratives. The artists in this exhibition leverage repetition, layering, and material translation to render loss, mourning and transformation visible.

Together, their practices imagine grief not only as rupture, but also as a generative process: an opening for remembrance, healing, and the continuation of life across family lines and diasporic histories. Moving through motifs of non-linear temporality, domestic memory, and the symbolic cycles of destruction and renewal, Here & Elsewhere presents printmaking as both a reproductive and transformative act.

By foregrounding women artists, those often positioned as reproducers of both familial and cultural lineage, this exhibition expands printmaking into a language of survival and regeneration. Across varied approaches, from book arts and embroidery to silkscreen, lithography, photography, and installation, each work is marked by meticulous craft and profound emotional charge. Inherent to each of their practices and printmaking as a medium is an aggregation of time spent with each image, a necessarily slow pace, and a traditionally feminine approach to craft through care and attention to detail.

This slowness has been cited as a rebellious act in itself: a mode of resistance that challenges systems’ and structures’ accelerated pace, often to the detriment of those already marginalized. The exhibition centers this creative slowness as a personal and political act, in connection to Jean-Luc Godard’s 1976 film of the same name, Ici et Ailleurs (Here and Elsewhere). The film expresses the challenge of meaning-making when commercial and political images inundate their global audience, particularly through the lens of the Palestinian liberation movement and the responsibility of the artist to create socially conscious work. Alternatively, in Here & Elsewhere, the artists initiate a creative reckoning of radical slowness, focusing on the precious nature of personal archives to offer ruminations on grief, identity, and bridging the present with the past. Both the film and the exhibition grapple with concepts of multiplicity and dissonance through the complexities of merging two distinct places and moments in time: here and elsewhere.
