Guest Speaker: Katayoun Amjadi

Please join us for a reception immediately following Amjadi's talk for light refreshments. The reception will coincide with the closing reception for Shun Yong's exhibition on display Oct 7-Nov 5 in Boliou.
Centered around themes of low-art and high-art conversation; diasporic identity through the lens of history, memory, and nostalgia; storytelling via iconography and symbolism as means of communication; and the power of representation, Katayoun Amjadi’s interdisciplinary work spans through ceramics, installation, video, sculpture, writing, and social activism. While her work is a commentary on current global concerns, it further looks for historical traces of the human condition and probes the relationship between past and present, tradition and modernity, and the many types of identity woven through our collective history.
