Tuesday Talk: Tai Shani

11am—12.30pm

Tai Shani works across performance, installation and film. Recent commissions include Dark Continent, made for the exhibition MIRRORCITY at the Hayward Gallery last year. Dark Continent imagined a city of women, a place that was 'simultaneously internal and geographic, past and future, part ruin, part construction, existing between destruction and becoming.' Other recent exhibitions and commissions include The Seven Darknesses, The Moving Museum's Open Heart Surgery; And of the Brimming Freeze Frame, The Arnolfini, Bristol; Anti-Antigone End time, FRAC Nord-Pas de Calais and Loop Festival, Barcelona; Music as Medium, Tate Shots commission, Tate Britain, and Last night I dreamt I was Venus... Barbican, London.

Free, no booking necessary.

The Tuesday Talks series are a collaboration between the Whitworth and Manchester School of Art.

The Tuesday Talks invites leading artists, thinkers and curators to explore the driving forces, influences and sources of inspiration within contemporary art. As the Whitworth reopens on Saturday 14 February the Tuesday Talks will return to the Gallery from Tuesday 17 February.
