Biography
Bita Fayyazi, born in 1962 in Tehran, is an artist known for her performative and social practice. More than a sculptor, installation artist, or ceramicist, she engages in a collaborative approach that involves both artists and non-artists. Her work often challenges traditional and academic definitions of art, using readily available materials to create pieces that emphasize the process and collective participation over the final object.
Since the mid-1990s, Fayyazi’s artistic interventions have included public art projects in the streets and abandoned buildings of Tehran. Her notable works include ceramic and terracotta sculptures that incorporate social themes and participation. Through her innovative practice, she reconstitutes the energies of many towards uncertain resolutions, focusing on the collective act of creation.
