slow down!
Hadi Qasemi
22 November
Description
Slow Down explores how meaning shifts with perspective. Through layered compositions where forms overlap, dissolve, and reappear, Hadi Qasemi invites viewers to slow down, engage actively, and uncover multiple stories within a single image. What first appears certain transforms as you move and look again, a reminder that life, identity, and experience are never fixed.
In line with HAS’ mission to foster curiosity, dialogue, and connections across worlds, this exhibition encourages reflection, challenges assumptions, and celebrates the multiplicity of perspectives that shape how we see art, and ourselves.

About the artist
Hadi Qasemi grew up in Stockholm and developed his artistic practice from an early age. His work is grounded in lived experience, navigating cultural layers and shifting identities. He creates to express what cannot be said in words, producing images where forms and figures coexist, revealing multiple presences within a single composition.
SLOW DOWN! challenges the notion of a single truth. It celebrates multiplicity, encouraging viewers to engage, reflect, and embrace complexity.
