About Ghazel:

“My work has obsessively questioned otherness, contemporary migrations, uprootedness, belonging, hybridity, social issues and the effects of War. Often self-portraits, going from the Me series to the Tree (which represents me), it is always directly inspired by my hybrid life, my multiple imperfect identities and the social work I have been doing since the mid-90s with delinquent youngsters, street children, migrants and asylum seekers. I believe art can only be a strategy of resistance.”

 

Ghazel was born in Tehran, Iran in 1966, and divides her time between Paris and Tehran.  She holds a BFA and MFA in Visual Arts from l’Ecole Supérieure des Beaux Arts, (Nîmes, France) and a BA in Film Studies from l’Université Paul Valéry, (Montpellier, France). She has participated in many international biennials, including the 50th International Exhibition Venice Biennial (Clandestini) in 2003, the 8th Havanna Biennial (El Arte con la vida) in 2003, the 3rd Tirana Biennial (Sweet Taboos, Episode 2: To lose without being a Loser) in 2005, the 15th Biennale of Sydney (Zones of Contact) in 2006, the 7th Sharjah Biennial (Belonging) in 2005 and the 13th Havanna Biennial (The Construction of the Possible) in 2019.
