Bahar Behbahani (b. 1973 in Tehran, Iran) has a research-based practice through which she explores various cultural landscapes via painting, videos, installations, and interactive lectures. By reinventing archival materials, she questions the relationship between knowledge, power, and spatial memory. Behbahani’s work was recently featured in the solo exhibition Let the Garden Eram Flourish at the Hood Museum of Art, Dartmouth College. Her work has been featured in the 7th Moscow Biennale, Russia; 11th Shanghai Biennale, China; Sharjah Biennial 10, UAE; and The Tribeca Film Festival, NY; among others.
