TCCE is delighted to announce our third Philosophy and the Visual Arts Salon, developed in collaboration with the Philosophy Department at King’s College London. 

We have been running various salons together over a number of years and, in so doing, we bring complex philosophical notions into contact with a wider public sphere. This series explores the relationship between philosophy and the visual arts and, on 25th May, we are pleased to present Sacha Golob in conversation with artist Alinah Azadeh.

Alinah Azadeh is a UK artist working across media. Whether a small sculpture or a dialogue with a stranger on the street  – her works are rooted in the disclosure of intimate poetic and personal narratives, which act as a bridge into the work for others to take.

At this salon, Alinah will discuss with Philosopher Dr Sacha Golob how, through acts of gift, ritual and playful exchange, her works create dialogue around the nature of loss, longing and our social and cultural identities.
