Rivington Place, London EC2A 3BA, United Kingdom
28 February - 23 May
Sharif Persaud is profoundly interested in his body in society as a site of investigation: sneezing, healthcare, hospitals, gangrene, cities, flats, benefits and his independence. Persaud questions his audience about their experiences and body – have you ever had? This is Persaud‘s first solo exhibition, featuring his drawings, large paintings and award-winning short film The Mask.
Have You Ever Had is the culmination of the UK-wide EXPLORERS Project, highlighting the extraordinary contribution neurodiverse people make to art and culture.
