Afrooz Partovi

Afrooz Partovi is an artist-architect who explores intangible dimensions of time and space through immersive technologies and time-based media. Her work engages absences as vessels for tracing what has been forgotten, erased, or transformed into nonexistence. Digital realms serve as both medium and metaphor in this exploration, challenging the primacy of physicality as the definitive marker of presence. Her practice investigates how the recontextualization of absence within digital environments can uncover deeper narratives of resistance and resilience.

Afrooz earned her Master’s degree in Architecture from Iran University of Science and Technology in 2020 and completed her second Master’s degree in Fine Arts at Carnegie Mellon University in 2026. She is the co-founder of Unche Studio, a collaborative practice exploring the thresholds between art, design, architecture, and theory. Her collaborative project, This Too, supported by the City of Iowa and the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, was selected as one of the STA 100 winners by the Society of Typographic Arts in 2025. She was awarded a Creative Research Grant from XRTC and the FRFF grant from the Frank-Ratchye Studio for Creative Inquiry for her recent collaborative project, Luna Park, which was exhibited at the Andy Warhol Museum in March–April 2026.
