Shamiran Istifan’s new commission, made whilst in residence at Forma, London, will be included in a group presentation titled don’t worry i won’t forget you. The exhibition presents the West Asian and North African Women’s Art Library (WANAWAL), which Istifan’s work will respond to through an installation and a public event.

don’t worry i won’t forget you is an interactive library, exhibition and public programme guest-curated by Êvar Hussayni and Sarah Hamed, opening at FormaHQ on 13 June. Reimagining how archives are built, activated and used, don’t worry i won’t forget you presents the entire physical archive of the WANAWAL for the first time since its inception.
