January Interjection: AGATHA’S REVENGE by Katayoun Jalilipour

Katayoun Jalilipour is an Iranian-born multidisciplinary artist and writer based in the UK. They often use speculative histories and fictions to re-tell stories through a queer lens. They have an ongoing body of research looking for fragments of queerness hidden in Iran’s Qajar era, and specifically centring intimacy, eroticism and gender nonconformity.
