Minoosh Zomorodinia: The Unintended / Body Mapping
JUST ADDED —> SUNDAY, DECEMBER 21st:
SFCB Artist in Residence Minoosh Zomorodinia discusses “The Unintended / Body Mapping”
Join Minoosh on closing day of her exhibition as she shares her studio process and discusses the work on display in SFCB’s gallery. If you haven’t yet had the chance to see the exhibition, this is a wonderful opportunity to learn more from the artist and see her work in person.
Minoosh will be onsite at SFCB’s gallery to give a walk through and discuss her work and studio process.
This event is free and open to the public; no registration required. Minoosh’s talk will begin promptly at 2:30 pm.
Minoosh Zomorodinia’s work reflects on the deep connections between people and the land — places shaped by history, memory, and power. Her practice invites us to consider how our bodies move through these spaces and how the past continues to leave its mark.
Using repurposed materials such as scraps of tape, ink, or paint, Zomorodinia transforms fragments from daily life into something new. These materials carry traces of their original purpose, yet in her hands, they become symbols of resilience and reclamation.
Her artworks invite visitors to reflect on how we inhabit the world: the marks we leave behind, the histories that remain with us, and the ways memory and movement continually shape our environments.
As SFCB’s inaugural Artist in Residence, Zomorodinia spent six weeks working at SFCB’s print studio and bindery, creating her artist book Spirit Gleaning. The book continues residency work undertaken at 500 Capp Street, exploring the neighborhood around 500 Capp Street through photography and focused walking. Alongside process work from Spirit Gleaning, this exhibition focuses on Zomorodinia’s printmaking and sculptural work.
