Shohreh Shakoory is a researcher, curator, and artist based in Helsinki and Berlin. She holds a BA in Art History from University of Rome, an MFA in Media Art from Bauhaus University Weimar. She is currently a PhD candidate at the University of Fine Arts Hamburg (HfBK). Shakoory has worked as a curator, producer, and researcher with institutions including Haus der Kulturen der Welt (HKW), Savvy Contemporary, Kunstraum Kreuzberg/Bethanien, and Sinema Transtopia in Berlin. She is currently the curatorial fellow at EMMA – Espoo Museum of Modern Art, in collaboration with the Saastamoinen Foundation.

Rooted in critical theory and post-colonial discourse and interdisciplinary and hybrid in approach, her practice uses different formats and languages to explore world-making processes, speculative futurism, and the relationship between cosmology and technology through artistic research and curatorial practice.

During this event, Shohreh will talk about her curatorial practice and previous curatorial projects. The presentation will be followed by an informal gathering over refreshments. The event is open for all to participate. Warm welcome!

The talk will also be streamed via Zoom. For the link go to Frame’s website.
