Yazan Khalili at EVA International Biennial of Visual Art 2025, Ireland

At the 2025 edition of the EVA International Biennial of Visual Art, artist and cultural producer Yazan Khalili presents All The Languages of Our Tongues (2025), a project that reimagines merchandise as both artistic medium and economic form. The work consists of 14 purchasable scarves carrying a poetic text authored by the artist.

 

Each scarf operates as a fragment of the larger text – printed on both front and back – evoking images of land, bodies, and political struggle. When assembled, they create a modular poem that speaks to hope and solidarity. As wearable fragments of a poetic whole, the scarves enact a form of knowledge transmission that resists algorithmic logic and the commodification of political discourse.

 

A limited number of scarves are available through the EVA shop (eva.ie), with proceeds supporting grassroots cultural initiatives directed by Khalili outside traditional cultural funding frameworks and institutional endorsement. Learn More.
