Zahra Baseri, "Tell All the Truth but Tell It Slant," 2022
Opening + Artist Talk: June 24, 7 PM (ASL provided)
I employ allegory and representation of culturally significant imagery from Persian and Islamic art and architecture as my formal language. While accentuating the importance of materiality, my work questions the subject-object duality to more profoundly bring the political into the material realm.
Launch + Artist Talk: Friday, June 24, 7 pm
