Nazafarin Lotfi is a Chicago-based multidisciplinary artist and organizer whose work engages the desires and belongings of marginalized embodiment. Working across drawing, painting, and sculpture—often combined—she reimagines the relationships between material and absence, ghosts and aliveness, haunting and presence. Lotfi received her MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and her BA from the University of Tehran. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally at venues such as Artpace, Phoenix Art Museum, Sun Valley Museum of Art, Illinois State University, Tucson Museum of Art, Elmhurst Museum of Art, MOCA Tucson, Regards Chicago, among others. Lotfi’s practice has received support from the Arizona Commission on the Arts, the Andy Warhol Foundation, the Arts Foundation for Tucson and Southern Arizona, and the City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs. She is the founder of Hamrah Arts Club, a creative mentorship program for refugee-status youth.
