Nasim Nasr Sold at Auction Prices

b. 1984 -

Nasim Nasr uses her experience as a diasporic artist to illuminate the complexities associated with a multivalent identity and how cultural differences in the East and West have the potential to produce disjuncture within the global community. Utilizing video, photography, performance, sculpture, installation, and sound to illustrate the ways that divergent cultural interpretations of objects and actions influence their meanings, the artist decontextualizes ethnically specific behaviors as a means to reveal hidden truths.

The artist received a BA in graphic design from the Tehran University of Art in 2006 and an MA in visual arts, architecture, and design from the University of South Australia, Adelaide, in 2011.
