Imran Perretta works across the moving-image, sound, performance and poetry. Perretta's practice addresses biopower, marginality and the (de)construction of cultural histories. Underpinning his work are questions of alterity and neo-coloniality, meditating on the process of identity forming in a post-9/11 era characterized by austerity, state-sponsored Islamophobia and the War on Terror.

Perretta was selected for Bloomberg New Contemporaries, World Museum, Liverpool and ICA, London in 2014 and was a resident at Wysing Arts Centre in late 2017.
