Join us for a live walkthrough of 'Shadows under my sky' with Soghra Khurasani and Nancy Adajania. They will be discussing the works in the show, Soghra's practice, and Nancy's catalogue essay.
According to Adajania, "Soghra Khurasani’s recent exhibition, ‘Shadows under my sky’, marks a transition from the high colour and operatic gestures of her earlier woodcuts and etchings to a gentler, more contemplative register. The artist no longer casts the fissured earth and volcanic craters in harsh reds and pinks. She now dwells on luminous evocations of night, quiet fields, emerald islands and wetlands that nurture cycles of germination."
The exhibition catalogue will be available to purchase at this event.
