S2 EP8 - Overcoming adversity to find a unique artistic voice | Abbas Zahedi

I sat down with Abbas Zahedi, a multidisciplinary artist working across sound, installation, and socially engaged practice. Their process-based, site-sensitive approach responds to space, history, and community, shaping work that resists easy categorisation.

In this episode, we explore how neurodivergence informs Abbas’s creative practice, their non-linear path into the art world, and the challenges of navigating institutions while carving out space on their own terms. We also discuss access, self-advocacy, and the shifting definitions of success for neurodivergent creatives.
