Asharshylyk is how famine sounds in the Kazakh language. The forced transition from nomadism to sedentarism, collectivisation, and Stalinist repressions claimed the lives of 1.5 million Kazakhs. Hundreds of thousands were forced to leave their homes searching for a better life.<\/p>\n<p>Artist Saule Suleimenova addresses this and other dark pages of Kazakhstan&#8217;s history in the project\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/saulesuleimenova.com\/qaldyk-estelik-residual-memory\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8220;Residual memory&#8221;.<\/a>\u00a0It was based on archival photographs. The work &#8220;Asharshylyk \/ Famine, 1932&#8221; became one of the first in the series: tired people with packages are walking to escape from hunger. &#8220;This road is famous. People went to China and Afghanistan, and it was all strewn with bodies. I was looking for the right mood to work with this subject: no fury, no anger, no offence&#8230; Even pain can be cleansing and beautiful. I was looking for balance&#8221;, the artist said in a conversation with Past\u00a0\/\u00a0Future\u00a0\/\u00a0Art.<\/p>\n<p>The technique of &#8220;cellophane painting&#8221;, which has already become a signature style of the artist, helped find that balance. The project consists of collages made of multi-colour plastic bags on a grey film made of recycled polyethene.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Residual memory is the one we try to hide, and I pull it out&#8221;, explains the artist.<\/p>\n                <\/div>\r\n            \r\n            \r\n                    <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n    <section class=\"single-image__block default-block\"\r\n             id=\"image--block_b4dda8feb5732aa0f49749fd642e5549\">\r\n\r\n        <figure>\r\n            <div class=\"text-container\">\r\n                \n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pastfutureart.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/asharshylyk_exodus-1.jpg\"\n     srcset=\"https:\/\/pastfutureart.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/asharshylyk_exodus-1.jpg 1150w, https:\/\/pastfutureart.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/asharshylyk_exodus-1-768x611.jpg 768w\"\n     sizes=\"100%\"\n         alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\">\n\n\n            <\/div>\r\n\r\n            <div class=\"text-container\">\r\n\r\n                                    <figcaption class=\"img-caption__default wysiwyg\">\r\n                        <div class=\"text--caption\">Saule Suleimenova, &#8220;Asharshylyk\/Famine, 1932&#8221;, 2018, from series &#8220;Residual memory&#8221;, plastic bags on polyethene film<\/div>\r\n                        <div class=\"text--copyright\">Photo by the artist<\/div>\r\n                    <\/figcaption>\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n\r\n        <\/figure>\r\n    <\/section>\r\n\n\n\r\n<section class=\"text-default__block default-block default-block--no-padding-top\"\r\n         id=\"text--block_4be9b4c063f60fd41bdc8153ea31a1ce\">\r\n\r\n    <div class=\"text-container \">\r\n                <div class=\"text-default__block-grid \">\r\n\r\n                            <div class=\"text-default__content wysiwyg\">\r\n                    <div id=\"rec254932324\" class=\"r t-rec t-rec_pt_15 t-rec_pb_0\" data-animationappear=\"off\" data-record-type=\"106\">\n<div class=\"t004\">\n<div class=\"t-container \">\n<div class=\"t-col t-col_8 t-prefix_2\">\n<div class=\"t-text t-text_md \">\n<div data-customstyle=\"yes\">\n<p>Talking about such traumas as Asharshylyk, this method is exceedingly contrasting. The artist chose packages from a cafe, chocolate wrappers, tea, bread wrappers\u2014all in warm tones and colours of sepia, which remind us of old photos. We can interpret it in different ways: on the one hand, it is a matter of combining visual images of different times; on the other hand, it is a question of facing the modern world with its culture of consumption and the past with all its tragedies. It is crucial for the artist to maintain the cycle of life, where even the products of human existence have a purpose and speak to the ancestors. In this case \u2014 metaphorically to feed them, to pay tribute and get support.<\/p>\n<p>For Saule Suleimenova, the painful memory of the past helps not to abandon this past but to let it end and to finally open the way for today. &#8220;The topic of the famine is deeply embedded in our subconscious, even if it was not in our generation or our parents&#8217; one. I still can&#8217;t watch a movie in which someone plays with food, for example when people are throwing cakes. The memory of those horrific times came up implicitly. There was no way our grandparents would sit down and talk about it. There was some kind of a ban. Now it&#8217;s important to get it out of our system, accept it, and come to terms with it. Traumas should not be hidden&#8221;, says the artist.<\/p>\n<p>You can also read about the work with memory and Kazakh history of the USSR times in the text:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pastfutureart.org\/en\/hack-lenin-and-the-fate-of-soviet-monuments\">&#8220;Hacking Lenin: Fate of Soviet Monuments in Kazakhstan&#8221;<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n                <\/div>\r\n            \r\n            \r\n                    <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n    <section class=\"title-default__block default-block default-block--no-padding-bottom \"\r\n             id=\"title-block--block_bd5c2bd90cf5e9960d73a2d62d0d2624\">\r\n\r\n        <div class=\"text-container\">\r\n            <div class=\"title-default__content\r\n\"\r\n                 style=\"background-color: \">\r\n                <h2 style=\"color: #474444\">Ireland<\/h2>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n    <\/section>\r\n\n\n\r\n<section class=\"text-default__block default-block default-block--no-padding-bottom\"\r\n         id=\"text--block_05f27337f77b60ae1d71e2889f8c41fe\">\r\n\r\n    <div class=\"text-container \">\r\n                <div class=\"text-default__block-grid \">\r\n\r\n                            <div class=\"text-default__content wysiwyg\">\r\n                    <p>Our next stop is Ireland&#8217;s Great Hunger Institute at Quinnipiac University in Connecticut, USA.<\/p>\n<p>The famine occurred in Ireland from 1845 to 1849 and had several causes: on the one hand, there was the ill-conceived economic policy in the UK, part of which Ireland was at the time, and on the other hand, the epidemic of a potato disease, the peasants&#8217; primary staple (which is why this event is sometimes called the Irish Potato Famine). Up to 1.5 million Irish people died, and the same amount emigrated. Overall, the population declined by almost a quarter.<\/p>\n<p>These events are still part of the collective memory of Irish people in different countries. The American Irish created a museum to stimulate reflection and inspire the imagination to reflect on such a complex subject.<\/p>\n<p>The museum&#8217;s collection includes paintings by influential 19th-century artists and contemporary Irish artists. And if \u00abclassical\u00bb artwork documents hunger and its consequences, the works of authors of the 20 and 21 centuries, made in different techniques, invite us to reflect in different directions.<\/p>\n                <\/div>\r\n            \r\n            \r\n                    <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n    <section class=\"single-image__block default-block\"\r\n             id=\"image--block_9443793e2ded1d00e79085ca6dbe084d\">\r\n\r\n        <figure>\r\n            <div class=\"text-container\">\r\n                \n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pastfutureart.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/127238469_2103063106.jpg\"\n     srcset=\"https:\/\/pastfutureart.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/127238469_2103063106.jpg 1680w, https:\/\/pastfutureart.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/127238469_2103063106-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pastfutureart.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/127238469_2103063106-1280x849.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/pastfutureart.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/127238469_2103063106-1536x1019.jpg 1536w\"\n     sizes=\"100%\"\n         alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\">\n\n\n            <\/div>\r\n\r\n            <div class=\"text-container\">\r\n\r\n                                    <figcaption class=\"img-caption__default wysiwyg\">\r\n                        <div class=\"text--caption\">Tracy Sweeney, from the series &#8220;Fighting with Shadows&#8221;, 2019, oil on canvas<\/div>\r\n                        <div class=\"text--copyright\">From Ireland&#8217;s Great Hunger Museum&#8217;s collection, USA<\/div>\r\n                    <\/figcaption>\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n\r\n        <\/figure>\r\n    <\/section>\r\n\n\n\r\n<section class=\"text-default__block default-block default-block--no-padding-top default-block--no-padding-bottom\"\r\n         id=\"text--block_57e1e65ba520b25c90a1a349a1b99b0e\">\r\n\r\n    <div class=\"text-container \">\r\n                <div class=\"text-default__block-grid \">\r\n\r\n                            <div class=\"text-default__content wysiwyg\">\r\n                    <div id=\"rec254793069\" class=\"r t-rec t-rec_pt_0 t-rec_pb_0\" data-animationappear=\"off\" data-record-type=\"106\">\n<div class=\"t004\">\n<div class=\"t-container \">\n<div class=\"t-col t-col_8 t-prefix_2\">\n<div class=\"t-text t-text_md \">\n<div data-customstyle=\"yes\">On Tracy Sweeney&#8217;s canvas from the series &#8220;Fighting with Shadows&#8221;, four figures appear from the mist. Are they swimming in search of a better life, or are they the shadows of the past who follow the traumatic events? The artist created the painting in memory of a woman who emigrated from Ireland to Connecticut after a great famine and settled near where Sweeney&#8217;s studio is today.<\/p>\n<p>The artist Dorothy Cross stretches the traditional Irish boat currach with the non-traditional skin of a basking shark instead of the usual cowhide. The question is often asked why did people starve when Ireland is surrounded by the ocean. This work resonates with an evil irony: when the potato harvest failed, those fortunate enough to own a currach had to pawn or sell their equipment to buy food.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n                <\/div>\r\n            \r\n            \r\n                    <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n    <section class=\"single-image__block default-block\"\r\n             id=\"image--block_b476d85fded54f39833533e7822b757a\">\r\n\r\n        <figure>\r\n            <div class=\"text-container\">\r\n                \n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pastfutureart.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/127237113_2103064106.jpg\"\n     srcset=\"https:\/\/pastfutureart.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/127237113_2103064106.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/pastfutureart.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/127237113_2103064106-768x576.jpg 768w\"\n     sizes=\"100%\"\n         alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\">\n\n\n            <\/div>\r\n\r\n            <div class=\"text-container\">\r\n\r\n                                    <figcaption class=\"img-caption__default wysiwyg\">\r\n                        <div class=\"text--caption\">Dorothy Cross, Basking Shark Currach, 2013, shark skin, wooden currach frame<\/div>\r\n                        <div class=\"text--copyright\">From Ireland&#8217;s Great Hunger Museum&#8217;s collection, USA<\/div>\r\n                    <\/figcaption>\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n\r\n        <\/figure>\r\n    <\/section>\r\n\n\n\r\n<section class=\"text-default__block default-block default-block--no-padding-top\"\r\n         id=\"text--block_84673f02019ce1e0e86b28ba274aa31b\">\r\n\r\n    <div class=\"text-container \">\r\n                <div class=\"text-default__block-grid \">\r\n\r\n                            <div class=\"text-default__content wysiwyg\">\r\n                    <p>An anthropologist and artist Toma McCullim asked the employees and patients of the hospital, which is on the site of a former workhouse for girls, to make spoons from wax.

He likes making baskets out of natural materials. Slowly, without rush, thinking about the place and its connection to people and the current moment. One day he decided that from now on, he would make non-functional art baskets. The museum stores Hogan&#8217;s work &#8220;A Famine Memoria&#8221;.
