SALT Interpretation continues to organize exhibition critique tours for college students within the context of the exhibition Hassan Khan. In these events, which are led by a different artist each month, in addition to exploring Hassan Khan’s works, the participants have the change to engage in a discussion centered on the artist’s practice and exhibition making.

Participants are asked to write a critical review to be shared on social media sites such as Facebook, blogs or personal websites, and share the link on Twitter by using the @SALT_Online hash tag.
