Multimedia artist Atefeh Farajolahzadeh, originally from Iran, is a visual artist who utilizes photography, video and installation in her practice. She has shown her work at SPACES Gallery and participated in a residency for Akron Soul Train.
Her work is driven by personal experiences as an immigrant facing the state of suspension between her current home and her country of origin and through abstraction and representation, fiction and non-fiction. Her work explores the concept of place, psychogeography, and liminality, with a particular focus on migration.
