- Katayoun Amjadi solo exhibition at Rochester Art Center (Rochester)
MFA ‘19 Katayoun Amjadi has a solo exhibition, The Names We Change, on view now through March 20 at Rochester Art Center. Throughout the duration of the exhibition, artist Katayoun Amjadi invites the members of the public to share their name stories via Zoom. The artist will both facilitate and record interviews of participants via Zoom. The Names We Change is a series of video interviews investigating myriad responses from those in marginalized communities, immigrants, diasporas, and LGBTQ communities to identity transformation in the way first names are kept or changed. This project is interested in discovering both coherence and fracture; of how our names gather our sense of belonging, yet can also become a source of tension, contradiction and rupture, or humor and creative negotiation. Learn more about the exhibit here.
