- **Event Description**: Join artist Selina Ershadi and Kaitohu Director Ruth Buchanan for drinks and an informal introduction to The Blue Dome and its new artworkAbout this EventJoin us for the opening  of The Blue Dome, all welcome.This exhibition presents new work by Iranian-born, Tāmaki Makaurau–based artist Selina Ershadi. Working with film, sound, and text developed during recent trips to Tehran and in Tāmaki Makaurau, she explores the politics of recording personal stories. These artworks, made with women in her family, challenge standard expectations of voice, vision, and home. By working with details often overlooked in official historical narratives, Ershadi questions whose stories are seen, remembered, and valued.BiographySelina Ershadi is an Iranian-born, Aotearoa based artist who works across filmmaking and writing, drawing upon personal and familial histories and archives. Ershadi’s work complicates straight-forward autobiography and troubles the camera’s relationship to lived reality, making visible the risks and failures that haunt any act of documenting. Her film Amator (2019), co-made with her mother Azita Chegini, is the first Farsi language artwork in the Te Papa Tongawera collection. Ershadi's work has been exhibited widely including Bangkok Experimental Film Festival, Te Pātaka Toi Adam Art Gallery, The Physics Room, Govett-Brewster Art Gallery, Dunedin Public Art Gallery, and the 2025 BFI London Film Festival.
