Selected voices on the work of Shahram Entekhabi
Cultural Theorist — GLUB (Hearts)
"His artistic language moves fluidly between political commentary and poetic reflection."
Curator — Nothing Gold Can Stay
Art Critic — Semiotics of a Migrant Man Located in Germany
Curator — Splendid Gender Bending
"Masculinity in Entekhabi's work appears exaggerated, unstable, and constantly negotiated."
Art Historian — Wenn Blicke töten könnten…
"Entekhabi's staged performances of migrant manhood challenge perceptions and societal stereotypes."
Curator — Nothing Gold Can Stay
“By performing these stereotypical figures himself, Entekhabi redirects the aggression associated with them onto his own body. His works reveal how cultural clichés and social anxieties shape the perception of migrants within Western societies.”
