Behnaz Fatemi

Behnaz Fatemi is an Iran-born, Canada-based multidisciplinary artist who works across performance, drawing, video, and installation. Her themes include displacement, mourning, the politics of care, and the idea of the third space. She often uses simple materials such as graphite, paper, fabric, and her own body. In 2025 she was one of two international residency artists at The Art House in Wakefield, a residency run with the Royal Over-Seas League. The residency was for two months, May to July 2025.
