Adam Farah-Saad will give an overview of their artistic practice and endeavors of the last decade and how they have attempted to use the creative process to understand and traverse the trauma, desire and questioning of life – whilst attempting to forge a sustainable career as an artist.
Adam Farah-Saad – sometimes known as free.yard – is an artist, composer, sauce-maker and bootleg archivist born and raised in London, UK. They are also a Capricorn Sun, Leo Moon and Cancer Rising. Working in a range of media and performative gestures, from moving image, sculpture, poppers, peppers and iPods to walking, cruising and micro-dosing, Farah-Saad aesthetically highlights and dwells on various ephemeral and poetic moments, seeking to open up forms of critical reflection and connection in order to survive and grow as a human.
