⛓️ONE Archives is excited to welcome multidisciplinary artist Panteha Abareshi for a presentation on her practice and research materials. Abareshi will guide the audience through a lecture around the sick/Crip body’s representation as a s*x object. Her lecture will be followed up by a conversation with NEED ME curator Quetzal Arévalo before audience Q & A.

DATE: June 11, 7:00 - 8:30 pm
WHERE: ONE Archives at the USC Libraries 909 W Adams Blvd.

🩸Panteha Abareshi’s (b. 1999) artistic practice is rooted in their existence as a chronically ill/disabled body contending with multiple medical illnesses, at the foundation of which is sickle cell zero beta thalassemia- a genetic blood disorder that causes debilitating pain and bodily deterioration, both of which increase with age.Their work explores the complexities of living within a body that is highly monitored, constantly examined, and made to feel like a specimen, critically interrogating the sick/disabled body’s place within medical institutions.

Currently, Abareshi is focusing on the disabled body as fe**sh object, and conducting research into disabled s*xuality, and its representations within po*******hy and fe**sh materials.

💉This program is offered in association with the exhibition NEED ME, open through June 27.
