Bio
Motevalli is an artist who explores the cultural resistance and survival of people living in poverty, conflict and/or war. Her experience as a trans-national migrant is foundational in her work. She employs many mediums including sculpture, video, performance and collaborative public art.
Her work intends to ask questions about violence and historical documentation and canonization, while invoking the significance of a secular grassroots struggle.
She currently lives and works in Los Angeles, exhibiting art internationally as well as organizing to create an active and critical cultural discourse through information exchange, either in art, pedagogy or organizing artists and educators.
