About

Nasim Moghadam is a multidisciplinary visual artist and art educator with an MFA in Studio Art and a BFA in Graphic Design. Her practice centers on themes of discrimination, hyphenated identity, and the constraints placed on women, their bodies, and their voices. Using sound, video, photography, and multimedia sculptures of varying scales, and materials that serve as constant physical reminders of femininity, Moghadam creates narratives inspired by the efforts of women worldwide who are defending their basic, unalienable rights. Envisioning another world, an equal world in solidarity, Moghadam celebrates how womxn go beyond cultural and political limitations, rise up, and create a revolution.
