Shima Raeeatparvar is an architect, painter, designer, and researcher in the field of children’s and youth arts. She began her engagement with the visual arts more than a decade ago through participation in numerous group exhibitions. Her interest in participatory and socially engaged art developed further after founding “Abi Boland”, a cultural and artistic initiative in her childhood hometown, with the aim of fostering continuous engagement with the local community. Fabric and stitching have since become central media in her artistic practice, serving as vehicles for exploring both individual and collective experiences. Through working with these materials within the context of social projects, Shima Raeeatparvar’s practice has gradually evolved toward an investigation of memory, identity, women’s lived experience, belonging, and social connections. Her artistic and cultural activities emerge from the intersection of lived experience, research, and an ongoing exploration of the expressive potential of fabric and stitching in contemporary art.
