Soul of the Soul

West Space presents a new exhibition by four artists reflecting on their shared experience as ‘outsiders’ in Australia. Each from the Southwest Asia and North Africa (SWANA) region, Elyas Alavi, Ayman Kaake, Ali Tahayori and Kia Zand work across disparate materials and processes, yet share synergies in their experience of queer, diasporic subjectivity, and the intersections of cultural and queer identity. Soul of the Soul / marks the first time the four artists will show alongside one another, and will be the outcome of a collaborative process over eighteen months.
