Neda Razavipour: Reflections on Art, Memory, and Public Space – BBC Persian Tamasha Interview

In this BBC Persian Tamasha interview, conceptual artist Neda Razavipour reflects on her artistic journey from her early years in France to her pioneering role in Iran’s contemporary art scene. She speaks about her transition from set design to installation, video, performance, and public art, and recalls presenting her first video installation at the 2001 Conceptual Art exhibition at the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art.

Razavipour discusses her major projects, including the public installation Census, her participatory performance Self-Service, and later exhibitions such as Oscillation, The Edge of Chaos, and Beyond Fragility, where she works with broken objects, carpets, ceramics, and everyday materials to explore memory, violence, vulnerability, and resilience. Filmed in London, this interview offers an intimate look into the ideas shaping more than two decades of her artistic practice.
