Dr Farniyaz Zaker is an Iranian born Oxford-based artist whose work has been internationally exhibited since 2002. Located between architectural theory and gender studies her art-practice and writing largely deal with the nexus of body, society and place.

Her practice ranges from site-specific installations to video, sound and drawing. Much of her practice explores how bodily practices and spatial awareness define our sense of identity, belonging and the very concept of knowledge. Her work is both generative and corrosive of boundaries, such as the one between architecture and clothing. It often employs transparency and opacity, repetition and memorisation, text and textiles and plays with notions of the public and the private, the physical and the psychological.
