Abbas Zahedi (he/him) is a London based artist. In 2020, he was selected to be part of Artangel's grant and mentorship programme Thinking Time, and in 2023 he'll be taking part in Making Time, the year-long programme on material possibilities.
Abbas is known for his interdisciplinary blend of social practice, performance, installation, moving-image, institution-building, and writing. His practice emerged out of working with migrant and marginalised communities in the UK to explore the concept of neo-diaspora, and the ways in which personal and collective histories interweave.
His recent exhibitions and performances have taken place at South London Gallery, UK; Belmacz, London; Spike Island, Bristol; Whitechapel Gallery, London; Lethaby Gallery, London; clearview.ltd, London; Royal Academy of Arts, London; Wolverhampton Art Gallery, UK; and 57th Venice Biennale, Italy.
