Pillow talk with Salima Punjani

Galerie de l’UQAM
French, LSQ
Free admission

On Saturday, March 2, 2024, Salima Punjani will host a public gathering to present her artistic approach and activate the installation exhibited in the Galerie. Salima Punjani invites us to slow down, daydream and rest, as a collective response to the pressures of productivity. The artist believes that the first step towards understanding difference lies in our ability to be together. She offers us a moment to simply be. Participants are invited to a collective listening and resting session, followed by an informal discussion with the artist. 

About Salima Punjani

Salima Punjani is a multi-sensory artist whose work is rooted in relational aesthetics. Central to her creations is the aspiration to craft environments that foster receptivity and connection. Her recent projects explore themes such as the dynamics of isolation and resocialization associated with the COVID-19 pandemic; the act of resting as a form of resistance against systemic injustices; and the potential of hijacking medical data to uncover human connections rather than highlighting anomalies that divide us.
