Tanoa Sasraku: Morale Patch

Join us for an insightful conversation between artists Tanoa Sasraku and Rosalind Nashashibi about the development of Sasraku’s work in the context of her new show, Morale Patch, at the ICA.

The talk will reflect on the conceptual and material risks Sasraku has taken with this new commission, and her shifting practice from the autobiographical to the global. Critical to the discussion will be the contemplation of how our understanding of nationhood, war and violence is mediated through images and symbols. There will be opportunity for questions from the audience.
