Farrah Karapetian

Farrah Karapetian is an artist and writer engaging with narratives of agency in moments of change. Her experimental photographs are collected at the J. Paul Getty Museum and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, among other institutions; included in textbooks and publications such as Artforum and Art in America; and exhibited widely, including recently the Bienalsur in Cúcuta, Colombia. Karapetian has garnered support from the Pollock Krasner and Fulbright Foundations and also earned the Warhol Arts Writers Grant. Her writing has been published internationally. Residencies, including through the MacDowell Colony, CEC Artslink, and Art Prospect Network in Uzbekistan, have led her to support and sustain transboundary practices that use doubt and nuance to personalize monolithic institutional histories and material conventions.
