NEW BEGINNINGS
CuriousWorks artists and new works showcased at SSI’s New Beginnings FestivalCuriousWorks was excited to partner again with SSI Arts and Culture to present 5 artists at the New Beginnings Festival, across two activations. This enabled us to support 3 artists from our 2023 Refugee Artist Development Program: Leila Beigli, Ali Rezvani and Khishkok Abdo to develop additional work for exhibition at the festival; and to engage two additional artists to facilitate participatory art-making experiences for festival attendees.
Festival attendees were invited to join visual artists Shiva Dadvar and Emmanuel Asante in a collaborative live painting mural experience. The artists worked with members of the public to bring two ephemeral public artworks to life on the day.
