Join award-winning Scottish-Pakistani poet Sunnah Khan in an active reading of the work of Tarik Kiswanson, engaging with the artist’s poetry.
Kiswanson has published books of poetry and writing including the artist’s book ‘Becoming’ (2023) and ‘The Window’ (2022). In his writing, the artist engages with the “poetics of métissage: a means of writing and surviving between multiple conditions and contexts”. Kiswanson’s bodies of work, including sculpture, film and poetry, can be understood as a cosmology of related conceptual families.
Khan will explore the poetics of sculptural objects through the exhibition 'The Rupture'. This will include selected readings from both Kiswanson and Khan’s poetry, and a reflective discussion on the artworks presented in the exhibition.
Sunnah Khan is an award-winning Scottish Pakistani poet, filmmaker and creative facilitator. Her debut pamphlet ‘I Don't Know How to Forgive You When You Make No Apology For This Haunting’ was published by Roughtrade Books in 2020. Her poems have appeared in Poetry London and The Rialto and she was shortlisted for the Aesthetic Creative Writing Award 2024.
