Details

Join Castlefield Gallery in Manchester for an enlightening in-conversation event featuring artist Omid Asadi and researcher Katy Shahandeh. This event, titled "Open Table: Omid Asadi & Katy Shahandeh in conversation", is the third in our exciting partnership with Corridor8, the renowned journal for contemporary art and writing in the North.

Katy Shahandeh, a British-Iranian academic and researcher affiliated with SOAS, University of London, has been invited to produce a text in response to Castlefield Gallery's current exhibition of Omid Asadi's work. Shahandeh's text will be the focus of a conversation with Asadi at the gallery, exploring the ideas and inspirations behind the artwork. Asadi hopes that his work, although deeply personal, will resonate with visitors and their unique memories, histories, and knowledge.

The commissioned response by Shahandeh will be published in Corridor8, adding to a collection of texts that delve into and reflect upon the gallery's exhibition program. This ongoing series of publications aims to broaden the understanding of non-Western art and gender issues, giving voice to marginalized perspectives.

Prior to the conversation, attendees will have a brief opportunity to view the exhibition. The event will take place at Castlefield Gallery on January 16, 2024. Tickets for this thought-provoking event are priced at £0 - £3.

Join us for a captivating exploration of contemporary art, gender, and identity in non-Western contexts. Don't miss this unique opportunity to engage with the work of Omid Asadi and the insightful research of Katy Shahandeh.
