SHIVA AHMADI’s WORK FEATURED IN “HOME LAND SECURITY”
Creating art which reflects contemporary anxieties associated with security, Shiva Ahmadi, UC Davis assistant professor of art, is among the artists featured in the exhibition Home Land Security. Curated by the FOR-SITE Foundation, this unique retrospective opens September 10 at Fort Winfield Scott located in the Presidio of San Francisco and runs through December 16.
Featuring the work of 18 artists from diverse cultural backgrounds, Home Land Security brings together works from around the globe to reflect on the human dimensions and increasing complexity of national security, including the physical and psychological borders we create, protect, and cross in its name.
Established in 2003, the FOR-SITE Foundation is dedicated to the creation, understanding, and presentation of art about place. Our exhibitions and commissions, artist residencies, and education programs are based in the belief that art can inspire fresh thinking and important dialogue about our natural and cultural environment.
