Meet the Maker: Raheleh Filsoofi
Tuesday, May 6, 2025
5:30 - 7:00 PM
Halsey Institute Galleries
Join us for the next Meet the Maker featuring Raheleh Filsoofi, an itinerant artist, feminist curator, and community advocate. Filsoofi’s exhibition will be on view at the Halsey Institute in fall 2025. Members are encouraged to attend from 5:30 – 6:00 PM to engage with Filsoofi and other fellow Halsey Institute Members before the presentation begins at 6:00 PM.
Meet the Makers are quarterly get-togethers for members at the Postmodernist level and above to meet an artist or maker and learn about their creative process within an intimate setting. The Maker is often an upcoming or past exhibiting artist at the Halsey Institute. They will give a presentation describing their inspiration, passions, process, and, ultimately, final result. Members are asked to bring “a bottle of wine and an open mind.” Check back again soon for an RSVP link.

Her art disrupts the borders that exist between us and seeks a more inclusive world, illuminating and challenging policies and politics.
