Hiwa K in "Berlin"Preview
Hiwa K describes the anecdotal inspirations behind his work in this preview of the upcoming “Berlin” episode from Season 9 of the “Art in the Twenty-First Century” television series.
Shown at work installing “My Father’s Colour Period” (2013), the artist recalls the memory associated with the work. “Color TVs didn’t come to Kurdistan because the government is not investing in those minority areas,” says the artist. “So my father was putting color foil on the TV. It’s a very silent protest.”
“Berlin” from Season 9 of Art in the Twenty-First Century premiered September 21, 2018 on PBS. Watch the full episode and artist segment.
