Javad (Jodi) Kashani (Naarm/Melbourne) is a multidisciplinary artist and academic researcher who makes mixed-media works on paper informed by a profound and abiding passion for literature. Incorporating poetic text and tender pictorial elements, both figurative and abstract, Javad uses their visual language, research and lived experience to explore the theme of gender and the wider human condition. The exhibition سخن دلت Sokhaneh del will be the first time that Javad has presented their visual artwork to audiences. They hold a Bachelor of Science in Arts and Cultural Management from the University of Science & Culture in Iran. They are in the final stages of completing a Master of Arts and Cultural Management with the University of Melbourne, where their minor thesis focuses on Gender Inclusivity in the Australian Arts context.
