Golnoosh Heshmati

Golnoosh Heshmati is an artist, researcher, and curator based between Rotterdam and Tehran. Her practice, mainly combining artistic and curatorial approaches, focuses on creating new dialogues within the partial, fragmented personal everyday life archives. Her work incorporates listening as a timely open-ended practice while working with text, sound, and ceramics. She is the co-founder of Rabt, a nomadic space dedicated to connecting communities through collective engagement centred around sonic practices. She is also a member of Khamoosh, a participatory transdisciplinary research community that mediates conservation and restoration by exploring the sonic heritage of Iran. (2025)
