Farshid Bazmandegan

Bazmandegan’s work explores the intersection of memory, violence, and the material world to examine the complexities of exile and displacement. Through his practice he looks at how Western imperial interests have shaped the lives of many in the Middle East, including his own. By delving into personal, political, and historical narratives, Bazmandegan reflects on the idea of a body without a home in the landscape of exile.

Farshid Bazmandegan was born and raised in Iran. He is an Iranian-American artist currently living and working in Los Angeles, California. Bazmandegan received his MFA from UCLA and his BA from UC San Diego.
