CV
Pegah Keshmirshekan, born in 1996 in Iran, is currently working and living between Berlin, Germany and London, UK. The key question that she deals with in her artistic practice is how collective identities contribute to the formation of one’s personhood in the globalized world. Through documentation of events in her videos, sound works, installations and paintings, her work addresses how imaginary pictures and fictional imagery are shaped through experience of displacement and diasporic experimentations. Pegah has curated events and seminars on aspects of inter-cultural practices in contemporary art and is a co-founder of the initiative I.D.A. (Intersectionality, Diversity, Antidiscrimination) and she is a member of the Soltity Collective.
