Trivia Night with Yara El-Sherbini and Naeem Mohaiemen
Tuesday, November 17, 6-7pm Eastern Time
RSVP for Zoom link

Please join us for an at-home version of Yara El-Sherbini’s Trivia Night (also known as A Pub Quiz), where viewers can play along to try to win an original artwork by El-Sherbini. The artist will be your quiz mistress, alongside curator Naeem Mohaiemen, inviting you to answer a series of trivia questions ranging from the fun to the mundane, the personal to the political. Trivia Night is held in conjunction with El-Sherbini’s solo exhibition, Forms of Regulation and Control, curated by Mohaiemen. There will only be one winner, so come and play for an edition of one of El-Sherbini’s never-before-seen prints!

The event will be live-captioned. If you have additional access questions or needs, please contact info@cueartfoundation.org (ideally with at least 48 hours before the event) and we will do our best to accommodate you.
