Afrang Nordlöf Malekian (IR/SWE b. 1995.) is an artist with a master’s degree in Fine Arts from The Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm and the Dutch Art Institute in Arnhem (2022). He works with history’s silenced makers and explores how their unrealized utopias transform into an evasive, flexible force that advances collective endeavors. Through performances and installations grounded in archival research, he creates works that provide a space for these quiet dreams to be heard, expanded, and, ideally, realized. Afrang Nordlöf Malekian is represented by Moderna Museet, the Public Art Agency Sweden, Botkyrka municipality, Uppsala Art Museum, and the Arab Image Foundation Library. He has previously conducted artistic research at the Arab Image Foundation and was artist-in-residence at the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris. He has exhibited at venues such as the 10th Berlin Biennale, Sophiensaele, Moderna Museet, CAC Reading Room, Public Art Agency Sweden, Nordic Culture Point, West Den Haag, and Tensta konsthall.
