Sana Ghobbeh

Sana Ghobbeh is an Iranian-born artist and artistic researcher based in Brussels. Her work examines the life and the impact of specific sites of infrastructure, often situated in Iran. In her transdisciplinary approach, Sana integrates insights from her studies in architecture and research methods developed as a visual artist into a performative storytelling practice.
This solo performance is a result of Sana’s research project Sugar Cubes, an exploration of the historic industrial ties between Belgium and Iran in the sugar industry.
Her long-term research, Performing Spaces – an exploration on urban structures and their inner narratives – interweaves layers of archival documentation, individual memories, anecdotal interviews, minute details, historical facts, and personal imagination. Through this multifaceted approach, she aims to provide not only an informative, mapped understanding of a place but also a tangible sense of the often-overlooked politics and poetics that inhabit these spaces.
