Abby Masoumi

Born in 1983, from Iran. A queer artist raised in Qom, one of the most significant religious pilgrimage sites in the country. I question identity, gender, sexual orientation, censorship, and reflect on oppressive power structures. My multidisciplinary practice includes painting, drawing, embroidery, and papercutting side by side. The material I use carries personal memory and meaning itself.
