Golboo Amani
Multi-disciplinary artist Golboo Amani is best known for their performance and social practice works that rely on familiar social engagements as a point of entry. Amani’s work often responds to the conditions of knowledge production and systemic epistemic violence. By expanding sites of pedagogy to include the streets, backyards, homes, and public transit, Amani aims to produce skill-sharing experiences that speak to collective agency and egalitarian epistemology. Amani’s work has been shown nationally and internationally in venues including; Toronto Biennial, Creative Time Summit, AGO, Articule, XPACE Artist-Run Centre, Encuentro: Hemispheric Institute, Summerworks Festival, Rhubarb Festival, TRANSMUTED International Festival of Performance Art, 221A Artist-Run Centre, LIVE Biennial of Performance Art.
