Léuli Eshraghi
Dr Léuli Eshrāghi (Sāmoan, Persian, Cantonese) is an interdisciplinary artist, writer, curator and researcher working between Australia and Canada. They intervene in display territories to centre Indigenous kin constellations, sensual and spoken languages, and ceremonial-political practices. As an artist, they engage with Indigenous futurities as haunted by ongoing militourist and missionary violences that once erased faʻafafine-faʻatane peoples from kinship and knowledge structures. As a curator, speaker and educator, they contribute to international critical practice through residencies, exhibitions, publications, courses and rights advocacy. Eshrāghi has lectured at gatherings Creative Time, Hawaiʻi Contemporary Art Summit, Experimenter Curators’ Hub, March Meeting, NYU Global Asia/Pacific Art Exchange, Dhaka Art Summit, Pacific Arts Association Symposium, Asia Pacific Triennial, as well as at universities in the Great Ocean, Europe, Asia and North America.
