June Digbeth First Friday: ‘Gut Feelings 2.0’ Launch

6 June 2025

Join us for the opening of ‘Gut Feelings 2.0′, a new exhibition from Kasra Jalilipour at Grand Union. Come along for either a relaxed opening moment or a celebratory drink after.

4–6pm – a more relaxed opening, a quieter time for people to enjoy the exhibition with less crowds and no bar. We ask people to wear a mask and not wear perfume for this time. 

6–8pm – Full launch opening with pay bar, including a performance by Gisou Golshani as part of wider Digbeth First Friday event.

Further details will be shared in the coming weeks. Pre-show information will be available in due course and will be updated with further information as the show is installed.

‘Gut Feelings 2.0’ will take place alongside an expanded public programme in Spring/Summer 2025 and is generously supported by Arts Council England Project Grant, Jerwood New Art Fund, and LEVEL Centre.

'Gut Feelings 2.0' is the first large-scale exhibition by Iranian artist, Kasra Jalilipour.
