Golnoosh
Heshmati
Golnoosh Heshmati is an artist, researcher, and curator based between Rotterdam and Tehran. Her practice merges artistic and curatorial approaches, creating dialogues within the fragmented archives of everyday life through listening, text, sound, ceramics, and performance. She is the co-founder of Rabt (2020), a nomadic space dedicated to community engagement with a focus on sonic practices; co-facilitator of Khamoosh, an artistic research community that mediates conservation and restoration by exploring Iran’s sonic heritage; and a member of the GAPS curatorial collective. Recent collaborations include programs with Rewire Festival, the Nieuwe Instituut, Varia, the Listening Academy, and MaMA Rotterdam.
Golnoosh Heshmati is invited as part of the Listening Academy, “Cacophony Stories”, co-curated by Brandon LaBelle
