Bio:
Mariam Ghani is a Brooklyn-based artist whose work explores, engages with, and occasionally creates points of exchange, with a particular focus on conversations, translations, border zones and political transitions. She has been awarded the NYFA and Soros Fellowships, grants from the Mid-Atlantic Arts Foundation and the Experimental Television Center, and residencies at LMCC, Eyebeam Atelier, Smack Mellon, and the Akademie Schloss Solitude in Stuttgart. Her work in video, installation and photography has been exhibited and screened internationally, including at the Sharjah Biennial, the Liverpool Biennial, the Tate Modern, the National Gallery in DC, the New York Video Festival, the Asia Society, the Danish Film Institute, transmediale and PLAY in Berlin, Smart Project Space, Gemak and the Stadsgalerij Heerlen in the Netherlands, Futura in Prague, Curtacinema in Rio de Janeiro, EMAP in Seoul, d/Art in Sydney, Bodhi Art in Mumbai, and the Bronx, Brooklyn, and Queens Museums. Her public, community-based and interactive projects have been commissioned by Creative Time, Turbulence, artwurl, the Longwood Digital Matrix, CEPA in Buffalo, and the Arab American National Museum in Dearborn for its inaugural exhibition. Her critical writing on disappearance, warm data, and networked archives has been featured in FUSE, Viralnet, Pavilion, the Sarai Reader 05, Samar, Arts and Leisure, and the Journal of Aesthetics and Protest. Press coverage includes the New York Times, New York Sun, Brooklyn Rail, CBS and WNYC, locally; the Stuttgarter Zeitung, Beirut’s Daily Star, Brazil’s O Globo, the Prague Post, New Delhi’s Business Standard and EPW, the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, and the VOA and BBC Persian radio services, internationally; and Artforum, Art Asia Pacific, Art India, Afterimage, Bidoun, Studies in Documentary Film, the Independent, the Fader, Viralnet and RES, in the art press.
