SPCUNY fellow Ali Motamedi is an Iranian-born artist and author whose work explores the intersections of language, immigration, and identity through text-based art, photography, and interdisciplinary storytelling. His practice challenges dominant narratives and engages with collective memory, recontextualizing imagery to examine displacement, belonging, and cultural perception.

Join us for his Hunter MFA thesis show of 2025, Look Both Ways. The work exhibited will feature artists Meredith Bakke, Nava Derakshani, Max Eisenberg, Magdalen Pickering, Rosalie Smith, and Emily Wichtrich and ranges from sculptural installation to VR, Photo, and Painting.
