Alireza Amin Mozafari

My name is alireza amin mozaffari, i was born on 1985 in iran. I started learning music when i was 8, and after 4 years i started acting and directing in school when i was 12. And right now i’m working in performance art. Art and liturature are basic and original figurs of my country, but because of the governmental and political circumstances, it has been neglected for years, and it leads to divide art into governmental art and independent art separately. Independent art which is sometimes critical and has been supported by an ideology, is not approved by the governers, so they never support iranian artist financially and no other ways. Performance art doesn’t have a long history in our country, it’s been known as an alternative and critical art. During all these years i’ve worked independently, and i’ve never considered it as a medium art, it’s been part of my life. My works are mostly about war, peace, freedom, women right and also contemporary art. I’ve tried to introduce it to the young audience in all big cities of iran. And also sometimes i did it abroud about the topics which are not allowed here in iran. I believe an artist belongs to wherever he was born, since the society creates intellectual an cultural thoughts of him. But on the other hand, expression freedom is a necessary for an artist, he should be able to pass the boundaries and to be connected with his international audience. These days the only thing occupies my mind is, finding new audience , and make a connection between eastern and western art, i’m thinking of a world in which art make people closser despit of the ideas of the politicians.
