Adham Faramawy
ABOUT THE WORK
Adham Faramawy will present a new film work continuing their research into identity, bodies, desire and queering ideas of the natural. Centering on our entanglement with local multispecies ecologies, specifically the Wanstead Flats and the Hackney Marshes local to Faramawy’s studio, the film will examine stories of migration and ideas of desirability, questioning the different ways a body, behaviour, movement or interaction might be desirable and when it or they might be unwelcome.
The heart wants what the heart wants will be screened for 48 hours as part of our online programme, broadcast via the homepage on our website. When to watch: 8pm June 25th – 8pm June 27th. All online commissions will be broadcast again as part of our marathon screening at 8pm, Thursday 15th July.
Commissioned by Art Night with support from Near Now and Wysing Art Centre.
