Catalogue of solo exhibition by Samina Mansuri at Centre A in 2004. Alice Jim wrote, 'Samina Mansuri's solo exhibition DARR: 37 Conversations (darr, meaning "fear" in Urdu) is a timely inquiry into the discourse of fear on the third anniversary of 9/11. It presents Mansuri's first feature-length video, comprised of 37 conversations filmed during the IntraNation artist residency at the Banff Centre for the Arts in 2004. The work documents the participants' responses to fear in relation to nationalism, globalization, and cultural identity. Many of the speakers - cultural activists, politically-engaged artists and writers - critique the construction of fear in society, pointing to problems of representation that underlie it and implications for understanding social realities.' Artist biography is provided in the catalogue.
