March 26, 2025 Jamie Donofrio

Hi everyone!

Thanks so much for coming to see my show and sending me some questions. Extra big thanks to curator Allison Railo and the installation crew. It was such a great experience to have Allison climb into my brain and see what she pulled out. Seeing how she chose to display my work has helped me make new connections about it.

Q&A with Shirin Towfiq

January 8, 2025 Jamie Donofrio

Thinking About Migration (2020), Installation of digital prints on silk gauze with fan and map pins

The Greatest Name (2022), tea bag collage

Exiled Landscapes (2023), Glicee print on paper and canvas, 17” x 22”

Shirin is an interdisciplinary artist working with an emphasis on installation, sculptural photography, textiles, and printmaking. Drawing from her positionality as a second-generation Iranian refugee, her artwork explores the complexities of belonging and placemaking through archival research and intergenerational communication with a diasporic lens. She focuses on everyday practices of belonging and visual culture, as produced by migrants, and reflects on the traces of diaspora to investigate cultural memory, history, and temporality.
