Ainaz Alipour (b. 1989, Iran) is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice explores the interplay between digital and tangible forms, emphasizing cultural representation in art and its potential to challenge power structures. Drawing from Iranian cultural imagery, she creates digital installations that integrate soft sculptures, utilizing local sewing crafts and embroidery from northern Khorasan. Alipour's work focuses on the dynamics and politics of bodies, engaging viewers through virtual reality and video installations that encourage physical interaction and challenge colonial representations.
