Multidisciplinary artist Mashid Mohadjerin (b. 1976, Tehran, Iran) obtained her doctorate in the Arts at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp in 2021.
Her work is shown internationally and has received multiple awards, including the Les Rencontres d’Arles Author’s Book Award for Freedom is Not Free (2021) and the first prize in the Contemporary Issues category of World Press Photo 2009. Mohadjerin previously published three books and during this exhibition will present her most recent artist’s book, Riding in Silence & The Crying Dervish (2025).
In the past years Mohadjerin has expanded her artistic practice to include collage, text, video, sound and performance. Her work weaves urgent socio-political themes together with broader history and personal stories.
Her work evokes questions regarding the way we relate to ourselves, one another, and the world around us in times of globalisation.
