ARTS Southeast is pleased to host Ainaz Alipour in the ON::View Residency from April 10th – May 2nd, 2025.About the Artist: Ainaz Alipour (Tampa, FL)
Ainaz Alipour (b. 1989, Iran) is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice explores the interplay between digital and tangible forms, emphasizing cultural representation in art and its potential to challenge power structures. Drawing from Iranian cultural imagery, she creates digital installations that integrate soft sculptures, utilizing local sewing crafts and embroidery from northern Khorasan. Alipour's work focuses on the dynamics and politics of bodies, engaging viewers through virtual reality and video installations that encourage physical interaction and challenge colonial representations.
About the Project
For her Residency, Alipour will develop a multimedia project exploring historical Iranian caravanserais, focusing on those constructed under the authority of female rulers. The project emphasizes the dichotomy between the andaruni (private spaces) and biruni (public spaces), reflecting how women’s contributions were often secluded or hidden.
Artist Talk: Saturday, April 19th at 2PM
Project Finale: Friday, May 2nd from 5-9PM during First Fridays in Starland
The ON::View Residency is made possible with investment by the City of Savannah.
This program is sponsored in part by Georgia Council for the Arts through the appropriations of the Georgia General Assembly. Georgia Council for the Arts also receives support from its partner agency - the National Endowment for the Arts.
