As an after-hours continuation of the Know Thy Neighbour #3 exhibition, Ashkaan Hadi, will play Santoor durationally in conversation with the archives of his sisters work during her residency with Victoria Community Centre. This is an intimate conversation between the two, as Elham’s reflections with St.Mary’s Outreach Service, she questioned the idea of home being a place or a feeling. The live performance is an active initiation of this.

Elham Eshraghian-Haakansson has recently taken up a space in Bay One of Cullity Gallery, UWA School of Design as an Artist in Residence which has been excellent in terms of informing how elements from her community engagement with Victoria Park during Know Thy Neighbour #3 will come together for the final exhibition.

Join Elham Eshraghian-Haakansson for a conversation in which she will discuss her approach to community-engaged practice, and the work that she developed for her participation in Know Thy Neighbour #3, which recently won her the Ellen José Art Award for Young Women.
