Kasra Jalilipour
Kasra Jalilipour (b.1995, Esfahan) is an Iranian multidisciplinary artist based in Derbyshire, UK. They work in a variety of mediums including sculpture, works on paper, moving images and live performance.
Through looking at histories and speculative fiction, their work takes on the role of recreating archival histories of queerness and transness, and at times they do this by looking at how religion and past cultures intersect with these often unarchived histories.
Jalilipour's solo shows include, Grand Union (Birmingham), Haarlem Artspace (Wirksworth), Gasleak Mountain (Nottingham), Arcade-Campfa at BayArt, Cardiff, Academy of Fine Art Gallery (Prague), and their live directorial debut 'Apocrypha of the Later Saints' was commissioned by Centre for Live Art Yorkshire, Leeds, 2024.
