SUMMARY:Visiting Artist Lecture
DESCRIPTION:VISITING ARTIST LECTURE WITH HANGAMA AMIRI\, INTERDISCIPLINARY ARTIST: At 11 a.m. in Room 144 of the Visual & Performing Arts Center on the Westside campus. Free and open to the public; limited seating available. \nHangama Amiri is an Afghan-Canadian artist who lives in New Haven\,  where she earned her M.F.A. from Yale University in 2020. She received her B.F.A. from NSCAD University in Halifax\, Nova Scotia\, and was a Canadian Fulbright and Post-Graduate Fellow at Yale’s School of Art and Sciences in 2015-16. \nAmiri combines painting and printmaking with textiles\, sewing together stories based on memories of her homeland. “I’m pinning and sewing my identity\,” she recently said. In 1996\, when she was seven years old\, she and her family fled Kabul. Moving through numerous countries over several years\, they immigrated to Canada in 2005 when she was a teenager. Her works examine notions of home; how gender\, social norms\, and geopolitical conflicts impact the daily lives of women in Afghanistan and the diaspora. \nAmiri’s 2023 exhibitions include: “A Homage to Home” at the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum in Ridgefield (reviewed in the New York Times)\, and “Thinking Historically in the Present” at Sharjah Biennial 15\, United Arab Emirates. Since 2020\, her work has been shown nationally and internationally\, in solo exhibits in Denver\, NYC\, Toronto\, London and Rome. In 2024\, her work will be exhibited at the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art\, a traveling show from the Aldrich with a published catalog.
