Join us tomorrow at 17:00 at SOMA 300 for an artist talk with Iranian-Canadian artist Sahar Homami. The talk will be moderated by Ali Moraly. 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.

Their background and approach are multidisciplinary and experimental, driven by combining art, technology, philosophy, and mysticism. Their artistic practice assumes different formats while maintaining a strong anchor on storytelling and real-time generative art, calling it live poetic cinema.

They strive to push the boundaries of perception and consciousness to expand our art of seeing, which spans knowledge, art, ethos and politics.
