November 2025: Recipient 62, yasamin ghalehnoie
The 62nd recipient of the White Pube Creatives Grant is yasamin ghalehnoie! yasamin is a practitioner from Tehran (intermittently based in London), and we were really interested in the way their practice spans across image and text – they make that look so effortless! So seamless! Like nothing is a stretch, like that is all the same language (ey maybe it is). Their work is compelling in its admission of the body, in its admission of the body’s limits, in the new language it finds to give voice to the body. We are pleased to support their work in this way, and we hope you like their work as much as we do!
This 62nd Creatives Grant was funded by Holly Gramazio. Thank you Holly!!!!
BIO: yasamin ghalehnoie, ghalenoii, qalenoii, is undecided by the incongruity of vowels in translation. born in tehran and intermittently based in london, they write (or not), walk (a lot), maldigest culture (everyday), make prints, perform and teach, among other things sweaty and silly.
they are curious about the connections between nervousness & nerve damage and the biomedical underengagement with the distressed angels of history. affected by the inadequacy of words or meaning, or both, their most recent obsessions include staying on Santoor (iranian stringed instrument) after a decade long hiatus, and experimenting with etching (a printmaking technique using chemicals to bite into metal plates) to contain and corrode the residual mundanity of going mad.
their writing and works have appeared in Sticky Fingers Publishing, Errant Journal, common/play\grounds, RCA Cassette Projects, Weird Economies, Radio Alhara, IAWIS (forthcoming), Cafe OTO, Peer Gallery, Mosaic Rooms, among others. they have been a resident at Writers Room (forthcoming), Delfina Foundation, UNIDEE, pirate.care, Materia Abierta, 421, and Documenta Fifteen. they hold an MFA in Fine Art from Goldsmiths University, and are an associate lecturer at the Royal College of Art.
