I am an interdisciplinary artist and researcher from Tehran, Iran. My practice moves through dislocation, regimes of exclusion and imposed unity, attending to how social and political violence is lived in and through bodies, intimate spaces, and everyday practices of care and resistance. 

​

Working across installation, performance, video, and sculpture, I develop relational and processual cartographies in dialogue with present, imagined, or absent sites. These counter-maps weave data and narrative together to make contemporary configurations of violence and resistance sensible, while opening space for holding multiple narratives and plural forms of belonging.

​

I draw from autoethnographic inquiry, by using personal histories to create meditations on marginality, memory, hospitality, and the ways physical and conceptual borders inscribe themselves onto bodies, shaping experiences of selfhood and otherness, rootedness and displacement, longing and belonging.
