About The practice

Where art meets the questions institutions don't want asked · in monochrome, because the questions are rarely black and white.

Practice

Saipher Zureti is a multidisciplinary artist, writer, and designer based in Chicago. His work moves across calligraphy in Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Tibetan, and Devanagari scripts, sacred symbols, portraiture, photography, and design · bound together by ink, shadow, and the written word.

Writing

Essays published at Black Radical Reflections · on art, power, and the questions worth keeping open.
