Foad Alijani is a research-oriented artist whose exploration, drawn by memory and imagination, inhabits lived experience and moves across the terrain of embodied perception and environmental reflections. His practice navigates through imaginal maps, lights, images, and installations. He meditates on how inner and outer worlds intersect and transform one another, forming an architecture of experience. Since 2018, he has led his curatorial initiative, Paadmaan projects, which explores the alternative paths of research, dialogue and dissemination within the ever-changing conditions of life.
