yasamin ghalehnoie, ghalenoii, qalenoii, is undecided by the incongruity of vowels in translation. born in tehran and based in london, they write, walk, maldigest culture, make prints, perform and teach. they are curious about the connections between nervousness & nerve damage and the under engagement with the distressed angels of history. affected by the inadequacy of words or meaning, or both, they are obsessed with the residual mundanity of going mad.

their writing and works have appeared in Sticky Fingers Publishing, Errant Journal, common/play\grounds, Fieldnotes digital journal, Weird Economies, Radio Alhara, Cafe OTO, Peer Gallery, Mosaic Rooms, among others. they have been recipient of grants from White Pube, ACE, Museum for the Displaced, and resident at Writers Room, Delfina Foundation, UNIDEE, pirate.care, Materia Abierta, 421, and Documenta Fifteen. they hold an MFA in Fine Art from Goldsmiths University, and are an associate lecturer at the Royal College of Art.
