What do you do when you inherit absence? When that absence is visceral, undeniable—yet refuses to take form?

In Accumulation(s), Ana Mikadze traces what they call technologies of survival: the residues of familial memory, legible only through their erasure. This is not a search for what endures, but an inquiry into the fragments gathered when memory must be reassembled rather than received. The exhibition unfolds across affective and material inheritances, moving between personal narrative and larger historical entanglements. It is an offering not to the past as it was, but to the impossibility of its retrieval, an offering of the irrecoverable, articulated through the material vocabularies that were never passed down.
