Shaghayegh Ansari Manouchehrabadi

Biography

Originating from Iran, I embarked on my academic journey with a Bachelor’s degree in acting and directing from the University of Tehran, followed by a Master’s degree in directing from the same institution.
Drawing from diverse experiences in visual and performing arts, I specialize in documentary theater, using various media such as video, imagery, and documentary materials to convey my ideas. Particularly intrigued by the intersection of site-specific, digital, and documentary performances, I delve into exploring my identity as an artist.
In my artistic practice, I embrace interactive elements, including game-playing structures, to engage with my audience dynamically. Through mediums like video, text and interactive digital media, I provoke critical reflection and challenge hegemonic structures while responding to pressing social realities. My goal is to offer alternative perspectives within specific contexts, fostering meaningful dialogue and catalyzing societal transformation.
