Join us on Thursday, April 16, 2026 for an artist talk with Hangama Amiri at the Halifax Central Library.

Hangama Amiri works predominantly in textiles, examining notions of home and how gender, social norms and geopolitical conflict affect the daily lives of women in Afghanistan and the diaspora. Amiri holds an MFA from Yale University and a BFA from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design. Amiri was shortlisted for the 2025 Sobey Art Award.

This program is presented by the National Gallery of Canada, the Sobey Art Foundation, the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, and Halifax Public Library.

Registration is encouraged. Walk-ins are welcome.
