Past Events

Thursday 8 July

Hoda Afshar speaks to researcher and historian Taous Dahmani about her new book Speak The Wind, tracing the project’s unqiue genesis in response to the distinctive geography and cultural beliefs of the Strait of Hormuz, Iran, and reflecting on photography as a tool for investigation and storytelling.

Thursday 1 July

Artist Oliver Chanarin joins curator Erin O’Toole to discuss Chanarin’s installation The Apparatus, currently on show at SFMOMA. As they trace the evolution of the piece, they touch on August Sander’s portraiture,  the obscured mechanics of online commerce, and data-collecting images that ‘look back’ at us.

Saturday 17 July

In partnership with MACK and Gertrude Contemporary, Perimeter is thrilled to present the launch of Hoda Afshar's much-anticipated photobook Speak the Wind, at Gertrude Contemporary. This beautiful and compelling publication will be launched by writer, Dean of Studies at Photography Studies College and founder of the Asia Pacific Photobook Archive, Daniel Boetker-Smith, with a signing by the artist to follow.
