About Aziz Anzabi
AZIZ ANZABI:
From politics to poetics.
Between tradition and modernity: tapping into memorial exploration to nourish collective consciousness.
By placing interiority and personal experience at the service of political awareness, Aziz Anzabi relentlessly questions the means we have to rethink the world in order to relieve feelings of suffering.
Having experienced the Iran–Iraq War at an early age, Aziz Anzabi encountered iconic figures of Iranian contemporary art such as Bahman Moasses and the modern poet Sohrab Sepehri; these encounters radically impacted his vision. Embodying concepts of exile and oppression, Aziz Anzabi explores novel paths into the idea of free speech, shaping psychic surrealisms to awaken consciences to the violence of our over-standardised world.
