Elham Eshraghian-Haakansson with Dr. Jason Eshraghian, Asha Kiani & Araan Kousari
Elham Eshraghian-Haakansson is a Baháʼí video artist, director, producer & screenwriter whose work explores the emotional conditions of intergenerational trauma and displacement faced by first and second generation Iranian - Australians. Her work has exhibited nationally and internationally, receiving numerous prestigious art awards for her video installations.
Eshraghian-Haakansson’s current work is in collaboration with artists Asha Kiani, Dr. Jason Eshraghian & Araan Kousari. Dr. Eshraghian is an award-winning filmmaker and artificial intelligence scientist (University of Michigan) whose practise focuses on AI-generated artwork that explores alienation in an increasingly connected society. Kiani is a performer, theatre maker, storyteller, and musician who is driven towards the ‘untold stories’ around her and draws inspiration from the diverse cultural threads that weave her identity. Kousari is an emerging artist who draws on his instrumental skills experimenting with combination sampled and recorded sounds to create ambient soundscapes for an emotional experience oriented to the context of the recordings.
United, they form an integral part of the Second Generation Collective, co-founded by Eshraghian-Haakansson & Kiani. This collective provides a platform driven by communal care for emerging & professional art practises. The current video piece is derived as a single collaborative iteration and response to the Runway Issue: DIVINE from the Collective’s Exhibition, آواره & found launching in March 2021.
