10 - 11am, Saturday 7th Mar
Artist Talk
Bita Ghezelayagh
Aga Khan Centre Gallery presents an exhibition by the internationally renowned Iranian textile artist Bita Ghezelayagh.
Join the artist for a talk about her exhibition, her new works and the Iranian cultural heritage that influences it. This will be followed by a Q&A. Light refreshments will be provided.
Somewhere between an artisan and a conceptual artist, Ghezelayagh uses her individualistic style to add a distinctively modern character to textiles of the past. Her work evokes grand themes of courtship, kingship, communication and glories of war while simultaneously celebrating the humblest units of artistic creation: the stitch, knot and rivet.
