“I often look to poetry for inspiration. Ahmad Shamlou’s ‘Common Love’ speaks powerfully to our universal humanity. Whether individually or collectively, we all confront grief and trauma. Finding that common ground reminds us we are not alone. Naturally, seeing others endure similar hardships bonds us together and gives us hope. We create art and culture to transcend our differences. The strongest works are those that unite people through shared, unspoken emotion.”
— Shirin Neshat
Inspired by the resonant line “I am a common pain, scream me” from Shamlou’s poem, Der Greif teamed up with Shirin Neshat to invite creators worldwide to transform shared pain into a collective voice.
