Girls of the Iranian Diaspora
Reimagining Community in a Fragmented Diaspora
Girls of the Iranian Diaspora is a series initiated by Sachli Gholamalizad, bringing together artists from the Iranian diaspora whose practices often exist alongside one another, yet rarely meet.
Spread across countries, languages and contexts, many live and work in a form of distance where connection is not always a given. In a time when the reality in and around Iran is deeply felt, yet not always shareable, another kind of distance emerges; one that affects how we gather, mourn, celebrate, and care for one another.
This evening begins from the need to create space for that again.
Not to represent, but to exist alongside one another.
Not as one voice, but in multiplicity, difference, and proximity.
The programme moves between reading, performance and music, brought together as a shared gathering and concludes with a conversation between the artists, inviting reflection and exchange with the audience.
Participating artists:
Tara Fatehi (UK)
Mina Etemad (NL)
Ali Kalantari (DE)
Hosted and curated by Sachli Gholamalizad.
