Bahar Noorizadeh’s work looks at the relationship between art and capitalism, and their entangled moral, social and organizational technologies. In her practice as an artist, theorist and filmmaker, she examines the conflictual and contradictory notions of imagination and speculation as they suffuse one another. Her research investigates the histories of the futures of economics, from cybernetic socialism to neoliberal finance, and activist strategies against the financialization of life and the living space, asking what redistributive historical justice might look like for the present. Noorizadeh is the founder and organizer of Weird Economies, a multi-authored platform dedicated to radical economic imaginaries. Her work has appeared at the Guggenheim Museum NYC (2024), Venice Architecture Biennial (2021), Taipei Biennial (2023), Tate Modern Artists’ Cinema Program (2018), Transmediale Festival (2020, 2022), DIS Art platform (2019), and Geneva Biennale of Moving Images (2018) among others. She is the co-editor of the e-flux special issue on Iran (May 2024) and has contributed essays to e-flux Architecture, Journal of Visual Culture, and Sternberg Press; and anthologies by Duke University Press and MIT Press. Noorizadeh completed a PhD in Art at Goldsmiths, University of London and is currently an associate lecturer at RCA School of Architecture and the Design Academy Eindhoven.
