Earlier this year, Shumon Basar recorded this reading dedicated to Zaha Hadid who passed away last year on 31st March 2016. It was for the Zaha Hadid: Early Paintings and Drawings exhibition at the Serpentine Slacker Gallery in London.
Shumon Basar is a writer, thinker and cultural critic. Between 1996 and 1999 he worked at the then-named Office of Zaha Hadid. Here for a Facebook Live post, he reads his lexicon dedicated to Hadid 'From Z to A and Zaha Again' next to The Peak, at the private view of Zaha Hadid: Early Paintings and Drawings.
