DESCRIPTION:The Whitworth presents a new 2-screen film by London-based ar
 tist Imran Perretta. Drawing on the artist’s own experience as a young m
 an of Bangladeshi heritage\, the film explores personal and collective e
 xperiences of marginalisation and oppression. Shot on location in Tower 
 Hamlets\, East London\, it reconsiders the figure of alienated male yout
 h\, exploring the complexities of ‘coming of age’ for young Muslim men l
 iving in the UK.\n\nThe film is produced by Chisenhale Gallery\, London 
 and Spike Island\, Bristol\, and commissioned by Chisenhale Gallery\; Sp
 ike Island\; the Whitworth\, The University of Manchester\; and BALTIC C
 entre for Contemporary Art\, Gateshead and supported by Outset Contempor
 ary Art Fund. It premieres at Spike Island on 27 September and continues
  until 8 December 2019\, continuing onto partner venues throughout 2020.
 \n\nWorking across moving-image\, sound\, performance and poetry\, Perre
 tta’s work explores ideas of biopower\, marginality and the (de)construc
 tion of cultural histories. Recent exhibitions include 15 Days\, Jerwood
  Space\, London (2018)\; Mene Mene Tekel Parsin\, Wysing Arts Centre\, C
 ambridge (2017)\; it wasn’t a crash\, in the usual sense\, Arcadia Missa
