'Entekhabi’s practice is framed within an urban setting and diffuses the idea of the urban space being a reserve for the practice and performance of the white, middle class, hetero-sexual male. He explores these ideas via a variety of performative practices, using architecture, installation and digital media. He chooses to highlight individuals who are ordinarily marginalised and made invisible or are forced into self-ghettoisation from the urban domain, such as migrant communities and their cultures, particularly the communities from the Middle East and its diaspora. The question of visibility and invisibility therefore is a theme he recurrently explores within his practice.' - from publisher's website
