If you're in the area, check out this semester's AAASI Artist-in-Residence Artist Talk with Ali Asgar Tara. This event will feature a screening of their video/performance work.

ALI ASGAR TARA
Rethinking Freedom - A critical conversation to understand how we can reimagine freedom by examining the intersections between gender and sexual marginality from the global south context. The conversation will also involve discussing how various systems of oppression are connected to queer subjectivity by centering and explaining this through my art practice and community organizing.

Ali Asgar Tara (they/them/she/her) is a Bangladeshi transgender artist currently based in Brooklyn, New York. Tara combines video, text, drawing, and community performance to create political, site responsive, and cross-disciplinary collaborations. Twitter @aliasgarart

Tara’s scholarship and art are reflective of their past & present experiences in a very different social, cultural, political, and educational environment. Tara’s current research-based art practice looks at the narratives of queer liberation in the context of the global north and juxtaposes it with their experience and understanding of queerness from the global south and argues how the neoliberal global market economy depoliticizes queerness as an Identity.
