‘Gut Feelings 2.0’ Late Night Opening

4–8pm

Grand Union

A close-up image of a geometrical, metal structure with a repeating pattern. The structure is internally cast with a glowing, green light which reflects against the metal.

Join us for the final late night opening of our exhibition, ‘Gut Feelings 2.0’ by Iranian multidisciplinary artist and writer Kasra Jalilipour. ‘Gut Feelings 2.0’ is an exploration of ‘queer’ lives and rebellions in 19th Century Iran, which have been purposefully hidden away from the public consciousness. Although at times, queerness has played a key and obvious role in Iranian art and literature, societal structures have ensured that it has been erased from historical memory despite always having existed in the culture.

Come along for either the earlier, quiet opening or a celebratory drink later in the evening.

4–6pm – A more relaxed opening, a quieter time for people to enjoy the exhibition with less crowds and no bar. We ask people to wear a mask and not wear perfume for this time.

6–8pm – Full opening with pay bar as part of wider Digbeth First Friday event.

Accessibility

The exhibition is located up two flights of stairs with no lift access. We have one spacious gender-neutral bathroom with no mobility aids. Expect very dim lighting within the exhibition.
