Neda Moridpour

Neda Moridpour is an artist, educator, organizer, and co-founder of two artist-activist collaboratives, LOUDER THAN WORDS[1] (with S.A. Bachman[2]) and [P]Art Collective[3] (with Pouya Afshar[4].)

LOUDER THAN WORDS[5] (S.A. Bachman+Neda Moridpour)

Her practice crosses disciplines and boundaries to investigate cycles of violence that leads to dislocation, gender and racial inequity while establishing dialogue and mobilizing communities. Through collaboration, her practice transforms the seemingly quotidian and mundane via visual and performative interventions, lens-based practices and bold public roundtables and discussions. Moridpour is a Tisch Faculty Fellow at Jonathan M. Tisch College of Civic Life at Tufts University ([].) Her work has been exhibited in the U.S., Iran and China. LOUDER THAN WORDS received the 2014 Women’s Caucus for Art International Honor Roll award. [P]Art Collective won the 1st prize in the Farhang Foundation Short Film Festival. Her work has been exhibited in the U.S., Iran and China and is in the collection of the L.A. County Museum of Art, The Center for the Study of Political Graphics, and was recently exhibited in the Islamic Art Now II: Contemporary Art of the Middle East at the L.A. County Museum of Art (LACMA.)

Moridpour  holds an MFA in Public Practice from Otis College of Art and Design and currently is a Professor of the Practice in the Media Arts Department at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University.
