Imran Perretta

Working across the moving image, sound, performance and poetry, Perretta’s work addresses biopower, marginality and the (de)construction of cultural histories. His work seeks to challenge the conception of the nation-state and its unilateral violence against those that are both marginalised within and stranded at its borders. Underpinning the work are questions of alterity and neo-colonialism, meditating on the process of identity forming in a post-9/11 era characterized by austerity, state-sponsored Islamophobia and the War on Terror. Recent exhibitions, performances and screenings include: AMRA, Assembly, Somerset House, London (2018); Selected 8, touring show in association with the Jarman Awards (2018); The Axial Line, PS120, Berlin (2018); 15 Days, Jerwood Space, London (2018). Imran Perretta lives and works in London.
