Omid Shekari
This is event is being held online. After registering, connection information will be emailed to you.
Omid Shekari is a visual artist primarily working with 2D and 3D mediums. His work reflects sovereign violence in both its flagrant forms (wars, tortures, prisons) and in its everyday forms (abandonment and policing of bodies). He explores the power dynamics between repressed and repressor that has existed in our society and has been normalized under capitalism.
Shekari’s work has been exhibited at The Sculpture Center (Cleveland), The Drawing Center, Wilmer Jennings Gallery (NYC), Marginal Utility Gallery, Gallery Joe, PAFA Museum, Fleisher Art Memorial, and Woodmere Art Museum (Philadelphia), Greenfield Community College (MA), Akron Art Museum, Ohio State University (OH), and Azad Art Gallery (Tehran).
