Tannaz Farsi (born 1974, Tehran)[1] is an Iranian-born American multidisciplinary visual artist and educator.
Tannaz Farsi’s configurations of objects and images address the complicated networks around the conception of memory, history, identity and geography.
Drawing from cultural objects, feminist histories, and theories of displacement evidenced by long-standing colonialist and authoritarian interventions into daily life, her project-based works propose a different means of representation regarding non-western subjects and objects that obstruct singular and conventional means of identification.
Her work has been supported through grants and awards from the Oregon Arts Commission, National Endowment for the Arts, University of Oregon, The Ford Family Foundation and the Bonnie Bronson Fund.
In 2019, Farsi was featured in a group exhibit of Iranian-American artists titled, "Part and Parcel" at the San Francisco Arts Commission's main gallery.
