Setareh Noorani

Setareh Noorani is an architect, researcher at the Nieuwe Instituut, and part of various experimental collectives. She uses various media in her projects and artistic contributions to explore ways of publicizing and embodying, questioning processes of trauma and time; always moving in the grey space between academic research and art. This is expressed in the research, disruption, dislocation, and uncovering of archives through spatial research and (self-)publishing. She currently is in the curatorial team of the London Design Biënnale 2023, and is involved in the selection committees of the yearly the Nieuwe Instituut Call for Fellows and Tilting Axis Fellowship. Setareh holds a master’s degree (MSc) in Architecture (TU Delft, cum laude).

#5 Dia di Lucha pa Libertat

Every year on the 1st of July we commemorate slavery and celebrate the abolition of slavery: Keti Koti. Since we believe that Keti Koti should be a national holiday, we are closed on the 1st of July. We asked Lydiënne Albertoe to design a graphic work for this particular occasion. The work is placed on the door of our Central Space and the windows of the Studio Space.
