Dr Sadegh-Sepanta Aleahmad is a London based Iranian-born artist. He examines the construction of his diasporic identity through performance, sculpture, poetry, moving image and photography. His work de-territorialises various Islamic disciplines, detaching them from their personal, religious and socio-political connotations, and fuses them with the aesthetics and ethics of Western contemporary artmaking.

 

Sadegh-Sepanta’s methodologies of research postulates Jihad as Ready-made. This unique fusion is an assemblage of process-based, transgressive, playful and interactional methods of resistance that disrupts established relationships between the signifiers and signified. This methodology is derived from his Practice-based PhD in Contemporary Art at Kingston School of Art.
