Neda Moridpour

Professor of the Practice
School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts
My research focuses on co-creation and collective knowledge production through interdisciplinary creative practices and participatory action research. This work encompasses civic engagement, socially engaged art, and social practice art, and explores the aesthetics of protest and social justice within the context of intersectional feminism. I address cycles of violence, migration and displacement, discrimination, and advocate for LGBTQIA+ rights, animal rights, and the prevention of sexual assault and violence against women.
