SOS

SOS (2021) was presented as part of “This End the Sun,” on view at the New Museum from June 30–October 3, 2021. Strafer’s SOS (2021) interweaves fantastical scenes with the artist’s autobiography to address themes of human cruelty, power, and futility. The work cycles through scenes of night and day, with dolls as protagonists: a girl seemingly stranded on a snowy beach, an elderly man on a medical stretcher, and two EMTs who attend to him. Strafer employs strategies of doubling, interchangeability, and scale shifts, with large hands occasionally swooping down to animate, caress, and bathe the dolls—perhaps in acts of care and/or control.

A Trip to the Moon

Zoe's voice is stored in a bottle. Something both ethereal and mechanical is in the air. Farid would like to build a device that will allow him to record this invisible movement. Reality shatters into pieces, voices from the past and the future begin to materialize. Zoya is on her way to the moon. An electrifying image, born from the radiant waves that sweep through the air with the intensity of a storm. Shayannejad's debut film was made by the independent filmmaking group Kamja Film.

Ako Naman Muna

Kado is a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community. But, because of his gender identity, society treated him unfairly; he faced discrimination, insults, and harassment from individuals who did not accept him for who he was, including his father. His sacrifices and efforts for helping his family was not recognized, he was thirsty for love and acceptance, and was even despised by some for who he was. The severe treatment he received from those around him caused him to doubt his own worth, which had a negative impact on his mental health. He sought assistance, such as counseling, and was given the opportunity to rebuild his self-confidence.
