Hoda Kashiha
Hoda Kashiha (b. 1986, Tehran, Iran) is a painter whose work fuses humor, fragmented figuration, and political resonance. Trained at the University of Tehran (BFA, 2009) and Boston University (MFA, 2014), she spent several years in the U.S. before returning to Tehran in 2016. Her artistic language combines Persian miniature and pop influences—with digital collage, airbrushed flat shapes, and emotive cartoon references—to probe identity, gender fluidity, and everyday acts of resistance.
Kashiha’s recent solo exhibitions reflect her international trajectory and evolving visual strategy. In 2021, In Appreciation of Blinking at Parallel Circuit in Tehran, followed in 2022 by I’m Here, I’m Not Here at Passerelle Centre d’Art Contemporain in Brest. She was presented in Brussels in 2023 with Another World Is Waiting for Us at Galerie Nathalie Obadia. Most recently, she held her first New York solo exhibition, The Doubt Between Us Sways Like Hung Mirrored Eyes at episode, on view from April 12 to June 27, 2025. The show featured new paintings exploring surveillance, intimacy, and the shifting power dynamics between visibility and erasure.
Her work has been shown in notable venues like Palais de Tokyo, Gagosian & Jeffrey Deitch (Miami Art Week), and Helena Anrather in New York, and has been featured in Artforum, Frieze, and Art in America. She is a recipient of the Joan Mitchell Foundation Grant, MacDowell Colony Fellowship, and Esther B. & Albert S. Kahn Career Entry Award, and her works are held by the Howard Gotlieb Archival Research Center and Commonwealth Hotel collections.
