Visiting Artist Talk: Iman Raad
ATP is delighted to welcome Iman Raad as part of the 23-24 Visiting Artist Series. **Please note this talk begins at 5:00 PM.
Raad is a Brooklyn-based visual artist, designer, and educator. Across his diverse work, Raad brings together a sweeping reimagining of traditional Persian art amidst the interruption of images and narratives in the internet era. Oscillating between disparate areas of knowledge, Raad references a culture indexically rooted within his thoughts. Curiosity is given a place to breathe. Images are fractured or incomplete. Moments from different art histories are filtered into a language of comfort and contented longing; a repetition of imagery and color whose intention is to keep you in a disturbed reality.
Through this prism of layers and colors, Raad has found a necessary platform to touch on both the complexities and beauty of cross cultural expression today. Aside from visual art, Raad is also an internationally acknowledged graphic designer–representing the contemporary Persian design and typography movement.

ATP is pleased to warmly welcome Steffani Jemison as part of our Visiting Artist series. **Please note the artist talk begins at 4:30 PM.
Jemison is an interdisciplinary artist and writer in Brooklyn, New York. In dialogue with interlocutors (living and ancestral), her work connects mark-making, gesture, proposal, projection, movement, and document.
“How and when might weight be shared between one body and another? Can a body be a figure and a ground? An end and a means? Simultaneously agent and support?”
Jemison has presented solo exhibitions and commissioned performances at JOAN Los Angeles, Greene Naftali, Mass MoCA, Jeu de Paume, CAPC Bordeaux, the Museum of Modern Art, LAXART, and other venues. Her work has been included in significant generational exhibitions, including Greater New York (2021) and the Whitney Biennial (2019), and is part of many public collections, including the Hirschhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, the Museum of Modern Art, the Guggenheim Museum, the Whitney Museum, and the Art Institute of Chicago. Her novella A Rock, A River, A Street was published by Primary Information in 2022; she has also written for Artforum and The Brooklyn Rail.
Jemison’s collaborative projects include at Louis Place (a writing community co-founded with Quincy Flowers and led with Naima Lowe), Mikrokosmos (a platform for listening and performance with Justin Hicks), Future Plan and Program (a publishing project), and Alpha’s Bet Is Not Over Yet (with Jamal Cyrus).
