Grounded in theories of sovereignty and necropolitics, her research investigates how historical narratives are constructed and manipulated, particularly in the context of military violence, surveillance, and censorship. Often drawing from her family\u2019s history of persecution, her lens-based practice explores the intersection of personal and collective memory, uncovering how visual culture is used to both erase and construct historical narratives.<\/p>\n<p>Her work has been exhibited internationally at institutions including Hauser &amp; Wirth Somerset (2018); the Museum f\u00fcr Angewandte Kunst, Vienna (2021); Georg Kolbe Museum, Berlin (2025); Wereldmuseum, Amsterdam (2025); Czong Institute for Contemporary Art, Seoul (2021); REDCAT (Roy and Edna Disney CalArts Theater), Los Angeles (2025); and the Wende Museum of the Cold War, Culver City (2025), among others. Sever\u2019s practice has been supported by grants from the F\u00e9lix Gonz\u00e1lez-Torres Foundation, California Arts Council, Eidolon Center for Everyday Photography, The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, and the Hrant Dink Foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n      \n          <\/div>\n\n  <\/div>\n\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":943,"featured_media":0,"parent":4384,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-11002","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 -
