ABOUT
Shadi Jafarbadi’s practice moves fluidly between traditional design languages and contemporary digital media, offering a compelling visual discourse on the complexities of identity, power, and memory. Her work interrogates socio-political frameworks, drawing connections between economic histories, feminist methodologies, and decolonial perspectives. What distinguishes her approach is not only a sharp conceptual rigor but also a visual clarity that resonates deeply with diverse audiences. In 2024, her contributions were rightfully acknowledged with a GOLDSTÜCKE award in Gelsenkirchen. At LICHTROUTEN, her installation stood out, leaving a lasting impression on the audience.
