Anahita Razmi

Anahita Razmi is a Lecturer in Fine Art at Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London. Her practice spans installation, moving image, photography, and performance, focusing on transcultural dialogues between East and West, hybrid identities, and cultural representation.

• Studied at Bauhaus-University Weimar, Pratt Institute, and State Academy of Art and Design Stuttgart

Her work interrogates geopolitical contexts, material symbolism, and the politics of cultural appropriation through projects like The Paykan Project and HellterFuckingSkelter. Key themes include migration, inflation, and the recontextualization of historical artifacts.

Recent publications include collaborations on art and migration, while her exhibitions—such as Darookhaneh / Apotheke / Pharmacy and Simurgh—explore symbolic polarities and resistance. She has received international fellowships and residencies, including Tarabya Cultural Academy and Goethe Institute support.
