Shohreh Shakoory is a researcher, curator, and artist based in Helsinki and Berlin.She holds a BA in Art History from University of Rome, an MFA in Media Art from Bauhaus University Weimar. She is currently a PhD candidate at the University of Fine Arts Hamburg (HfBK). Shakoory has worked as a curator, producer, and researcher with institutions including Haus der Kulturen der Welt (HKW), Savvy Contemporary, Kunstraum Kreuzberg/Bethanien, and Sinema Transtopia in Berlin. She is currently the curatorial fellow at EMMA – Espoo Museum of Modern Art, in collaboration with the Saastamoinen Foundation.
Rooted in critical theory and post-colonial discourse and interdisciplinary and hybrid in approach, her practice uses different formats and languages to explore world-making processes, speculative futurism, and the relationship between cosmology and technology through artistic research and curatorial practice.
I will merge my long-standing artistic research on the politics of worlding with a deep engagement with the Saastamoinen Collection.
