About
Dr Mehrangiz Modarres Tabatabaei is a Launceston-based creative visual artist and community arts practitioner.
Born in Tehran, Iran she has spent the last 28 years visiting, living, studying and working at different places in East Asia, Africa, Europe, and South America finally settling in Australia. Whilst conducting research and teaching at UTAS, Mehrangiz coordinates workshops and exhibitions in support of the community.
Through her experiences, she has been exposed to different media, materials, and art styles such as Persian calligraphy, Chinese artwork and Western painting.
Mehrangiz’s global exposure has developed an understanding of diverse socio-cultures and has deeply impacted how she designs and delivers artworks. Her works intend to materialise non-material cultural elements by combining metaphorical and symbolic objects that embrace rituals, feelings and the exchange of values.
This is a Northern Suburbs Arts initiative aiming to bring together migrant/CALD community members to build social connections.
