## Caption

Raheleh Filsoofi is an itinerant artist, feminist curator, and community advocate. Using clay and sound as her primary expressive mediums, her work revolves around themes of movement, immigration, and social activism. Her art disrupts the borders that exist between us and seeks a more inclusive world, illuminating and challenging policies and politics. 

“At the Edge of Arrival,” on view at the halsey_institute in Charleston, South Carolina, brings together a constellation of works — dust paintings, argillotypes, vessels, sound, and video — to explore migration, land, and memory from the perspective of a Middle Eastern immigrant woman living in the American South. In this free exhibition, on view through December 6, Filsoofi engages with the layered histories of place, the materials drawn from it, and a poetic dialogue between her own migration from Iran and the forced migration of enslaved Africans who arrived in Charleston. Through this lens, she reflects on our shared presence in the land — not through similarity, but through resonance across time, material, and memory.
