by Kasra Jalilipour
Kasra Jalilipour (b.1995, Esfahan) is an Iranian multidisciplinary artist, and writer, based in Derbyshire. They work in a variety of mediums including sculpture, works on paper, moving image and live performance. Through looking at histories and speculative fiction, their work takes on the role of recreating archival histories of queerness and transness, and at times they do this by looking at how religion intersects with these often unarchived histories.

كسري جلالي پور (متولد سال ١٣٧٤ در اصفهان) يك هنرمند چند حوزه اي و نويسنده ي ايراني ساكن دربي شاير است. او در مديوم هاي گوناگوني از جمله مجسمه، كاغذ، تصاوير متحرك و اجراي زنده كار مي كند. از طريق مطالعه ي تواريخ و داستان هاي تخليلي، كار او نقش بازسازي تواريخ بايگاني شده ي كوئير و ترنس را بر عهده مي گيرد، و در برخي مواقع هم او اين كار را از طريق نگاه كردن به هم پوشاني مذهب با اين تواريخ اغلب آرشيو نشده، انجام مي دهد.
