nazanin is a visual/sound artist, experimental filmmaker, and arts administrator. Their artistic practice emerges from critical reflection on concepts such as body, identity, gender, memory, politics, and the ongoing interplay between the individual and society. nazanin’s recent work explores power relations and the ways in which women’s bodies are controlled through the medicalization of their bodies and reproductive health. Working mostly with video, audio, and other sensory stimulative installations, they are interested in discrete components of the auditory, visual and gestural aspects of memory and control.
nazanin is a recipient of the BC Binning Memorial Fellowship, and their work has been exhibited across Iran and Canada including VIVO Media Arts, WNDX Festival of Moving Image, Morris And Helen Belkin Art Gallery, and Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden.
Following the completion of their MFA in Visual Arts from UBC in 2020, nazanin has worked and collaborated with several not-for-profit art organizations in recent years, including Vancouver New Music, Western Front, VIVO Media Arts, Vancouver Art Gallery, and The Dance Centre.
