Shahrzad Changalvaee's practice responds to sculpture in a vast field of media, including installation, video, photography, text, performance as well as activism.

Through summoning, truncating, recalling and tokening, She makes works in a variety of time-based mediums in search of doubtful appearances of liberty, control and evil. Her works are context-questioning to subjects of many immigrant artists or fluid individuals, subjects such as local and global, information and anecdotes, displacement and adjustment, Interest and urge, privilege and progress.

Shahrzad teaches at The Cooper Union and RISD as adjunct professor and is co-founder and co-director of From: Iran platform.

Shahrzad received a B.A. in Graphic Design from Tehran University School of Arts (2006) and her M.F.A. in Sculpture from Yale University (2015) and is currently based in Brooklyn, New York.
