Join artist Matilda Aslizadeh in the studio for an informal in-person chat about the work she has undertaken during her time at Griffin. Drop-ins welcome!

Matilda Aslizadeh’s media installations and photo-based works are characterized by dense visual surfaces and unexpected juxtapositions drawn from a range of photographic, cinematic, and painterly influences. Deeply invested in exploring the critical potential of immersive spectacle, the ambivalent centrality of storytelling in human existence, and the fluid threshold between documentation and fictionalization, Aslizadeh’s work locates political thinking firmly within affective experience.

Her work has been exhibited internationally in galleries and festivals, including exhibitions at the Vancouver Art Gallery, AC Institute (New York), and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Toronto.
