Her work does not retell events so much as expose their sediment, the salt, silt, and shadow left by commerce and displacement.\n\n****Anna Boghiguian**** – The Sunken Boat, ****ARoS**** 2025.

Installation view: Mads Smidstrup © ARoS 2025\n\nThe exhibition gathers four works made between 2015 and 2025, each approaching that sediment from a different direction - trade routes, philosophical dialogue, geopolitical contest. At their center is the work that gives the show its name.\n\nThe exhibition’s title work,  _The Sunken Boat: A Glimpse into Past Histories_ (2025), created partly on-site in Aarhus, feels both monumental and ephemeral.\n\nA papier-mâché diver lies in sand among glass mussel shells and paper fish; the sound of surf recorded in Alexandria, Margate, and Aarhus binds the installation to three coasts three thresholds of departure and return. A mural painted directly on the museum wall will vanish when the show closes in April 2026, its destruction folded into the work’s meaning.\n\nAcross these installations, the past is not retrieved but stirred, the sea as witness rather than metaphor.  _The Sunken Boat_ extends Boghiguian’s ongoing question: how can art articulate the histories submerged beneath economic and ecological collapse?\n\nIn a time when Mediterranean crossings and rising waters redefine what coastlines mean, her work proposes no conclusion, only a fragile act of remembrance. Whether the mural’s erasure will register as loss or completion is, fittingly, left unresolved.\n\n* * *\n\nInstagram Aros Museum\n\n* * *\n\n## Notable Works and Installation Views\n\n****Anna Boghiguian**** – The Sunken Boat, ****ARoS**** 2025.
