BIO​
Lilian Nejatpour is an artist who shifts between sculptural forms and sound structures, she often investigates displacement and duality through unique settings and experiences. With influences from ceremonial practices taken from Southern Iran and her northern background in bassline music from Bradford, much of her work is a hybridity between performance, sound and installation. 

​Her works ‘Choreophobia’ and ‘Foreign Sleep’ are rich in socio-political complexities from her own background, combining sound and theory to develop sculptures of bodies that resist and overlap in response to her own geographical displacement, sampling movements from northern bassline club culture and juxtaposing against gestures associated with the now-banned Iranian solo improvised dance.
