In his films, Sina Ataeian Dena deals with social and environmental conditions in Iran. In doing so, he plays with opposites, the idyllic and the dystopian, participation and apathy. The works are always accompanied by the overriding theme of violence - sometimes explicitly, sometimes subliminally.

The talk will begin by discussing the storytelling behind the exhibition, which is currently on view. The artists will then continue with conversations around the lingering trap of Self-Orientalism, creating art in times of crisis and activism in art. The talk is free and open to the public.
