Saad Qureshi in conversation with Sarah Victoria Turner

Join us for a discussion about Saad Qureshi’s Tower of Now in the first event of our Bradford 2025 research season.

Artist Saad Qureshi will be joined by Sarah Victoria Turner, Director of the Paul Mellon Centre for this in-conversation event, taking place at the Bradford Playhouse.

Described by Laura Cumming in the Observer as “one of our most pensive and poetic artists”, Qureshi’s sculptures give form to the ideas or stories by which we lend meaning to human existence.

Tower of Now, his flagship commission for Bradford City of Culture 2025, is a tribute to the rich variety of cultures present in the city. Turner and Qureshi will discuss the commission within the context of Qureshi’s wider practice, which explores personal and collective memory and identity.
