Golnar Adili Explained
Golnar Adili (Persian: گلنار عدیلی; born 1976 in Virginia) is an Iranian-born American multidisciplinary artist based in Brooklyn, New York.[1] Much of her work is influenced by growing up in post-Iranian Revolution in Tehran and issues of displacement.
Biography
Adili was born in 1976 in Falls Church, Virginia, but by 1980 at the age four her family moved back to Iran.[2] Her parents were political activists and after their move to Iran, her father was forced to flee back to the United States.[3] She returned to the United States in 1994 to reunite with her father and pursue her college education. In 1998 she received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Painting from the University of Virginia and in 2006 she received a Master's degree in Architecture from University of Michigan.[4]
In 2009 she won a Fellowship in Printmaking/Drawing/Artists Books from New York Foundation for the Arts.[5] Adili has been awarded residencies at Women's Studio Workshop (2015), The MacDowell Colony (2007, 2013), the Rockefeller Foundation at the Bellagio Center, and the Lower East Side Printshop (2014), among others.[6] [7] [8]
