REVIEW EXTRACTS
‘With this quiet, beautiful, careful and courageous exhibition, Qasim Riza Shaheen is inviting us to step back into that closet, to wonder all over again at its forbidden pleasures, its colours and its multitude of embroidered, jewelled and painted possibilities.’ Neil Bartlett OBE, 2007 ()
‘It is a rare artist that can make you want to cry, then laugh and then question your own politic all within one performance.’ Ronald Fraser-Munroe, K3 Media ()
‘The work becomes something of a collaborative celebration of social difference and sartorial inversion.’ Guardian Unlimited ()
