Wednesday Walkthrough: Abbas Zahedi
Join us for a Wednesday Walkthrough – a gallery tour where artists, experts, researchers and academics give short talks in their field of expertise relating to the concepts explored in our exhibition.
In this walkthrough, Linda Kemp, Research Fellow in the School of Social Sciences at Nottingham Trent University, will guide us through an exploration of grief, poetry and spaces of care, in relation to Abbas Zahedi’s exhibition Holding a Heart in Artifice. Composed from a newly commissioned installation and engagement programme, Zahedi continues his ongoing investigations into care, grief and contemporary philosophy. Holding a Heart in Artifice affords an opportunity to think about how art, galleries and the public are interconnected through mutual support systems.
