They work in a range of mediums including moving-image, sculpture, drawing, live performance and text. At the core of their practice is the concept of speculative historical fiction, looking at historical imagery through a queer lens.
Jalilipour’s solo shows include Arcade-Campfa at BayArt (Cardiff) 2023, Academy of Fine Art Gallery (Prague) 2018, and their live directorial debut Apocrypha of Later Saints commissioned by Centre for Live Art Yorkshire (Leeds).
