Born in Tehran, Iran, Khoshooee uses time\u002Dbased strategies in presenting work that fuses 3D environments, video projection mapping, sculpture, performance, and sound. Her practice explores the complex dualities of technology: its oppressive role in surveilling, documenting, and criminalizing BIPOC bodies, and its radical potential for futurity and alternative solidarities. Her work unearths how technology mediates the intimate and collective experiences of grief, violence, and memory, reclaiming these spaces as arenas for liberation, and reimagined futures.\u0026nbsp\u003B Khoshooee is the recipient of Eyebeam\u0026rsquo\u003Bs Democracy Machine Fellowship and a Skowhegan alumna. She has presented her solo installations at the Dorothy Center for The Arts, Baxter St CCNY, The Elizabeth Foundation for The Arts,The Orlando Museum of Art,and NADA MIAMI 2018 among others. Khoshooee has been included in various group exhibitions including the Honor Fraser Gallery, Latinx Project, Southern Exposure, Museum of Photography Stockholm, and the Museum of Fine Arts St. Petersburg. Her work has been featured in The Huffington Post, The Guardian, Artnet News, The Metro, and The Creators Project.\u003C/span\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\u000A\u003Cp\u003EThose attending will enjoy a lecture from Bahareh Khoshooee on her artistic practice and will also have the opportunity to engage in a Q\u0026amp\u003BA session afterwards.\u003C/p\u003E",
