His practice engages themes of inclusion, social justice and environmental awareness.<\/p>\n<p>He founded Honargardi, an online platform for visual arts, and is Executive Manager of Aliha Gallery, where he curates exhibitions of contemporary Iranian art.

Over the years, I have explored themes of identity, inclusion, and social justice through my practice, creating works that engage with pressing issues such as human rights, environmental sustainability, and the intersections of architecture and social dynamics.<\/p>\n<p>My artistic journey has been shaped by a commitment to shedding light on overlooked narratives and advocating for equality. Whether through my digital photomontages, which juxtapose human figures with architectural elements, or the collaborative projects I\u2019ve initiated that highlight marginalized voices, I strive to create spaces where dialogue and reflection can thrive.<\/p>\n<p>Art, for me, is both a mirror and a tool\u2014a way to confront the structures of discrimination and envision pathways to a more equitable society. My curatorial work at Aliha Gallery has emphasized these values, showcasing exhibitions that address themes of inclusion and creating opportunities for artists from diverse backgrounds to share their stories.<\/p>\n<p>I believe that artists have a responsibility not only to reflect the complexities of the world but also to imagine and shape a better future. By focusing on socially conscious projects and engaging with communities, I aim to contribute to the ongoing dialogue about equality and the collective effort to dismantle barriers.<\/p>\n<p>Through my work, I aspire to connect people, provoke thought, and inspire action\u2014ensuring that art remains a catalyst for empathy, understanding, and lasting change.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"ag-map-sec ag-map-cta\">\n<h2>Enquiries<\/h2>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 22px;font-size:17px;line-height:1.7\">For information about Kasra Aliha\u2019s work, please contact Aliha Gallery.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"ag-btn\" href=\"https:\/\/aliha.gallery\/?page_id=13476\">Contact the gallery<\/a><\/section>\n<p class=\"ag-foot\" style=\"margin-top:40px;text-align:center;font:12px Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;letter-spacing:.1em;color:#6d6760\"><a href=\"https:\/\/aliha.gallery\/?page_id=36758\" style=\"color:inherit\">All artists<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/aliha.gallery\/\" style=\"color:inherit\">Home<\/a> \u00b7 \u00a9 2015\u20132026 Aliha Gallery, Tehran<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Kasra Aliha\",\"jobTitle\":\"Artist and curator\",\"birthDate\":\"1990\",\"birthPlace\":\"Tehran, Iran\",\"image\":\"https:\/\/aliha.gallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/kasra-aliha-j1.jpg\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/kasraaliha.com\/\",\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/kasraliha\/\"]}<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HomeExhibitionsAll exhibitionsArchiveArt fairsArtistsAboutContactNewsletterFollowTelegramInstagramFacebookYouTubeLinkedInXThreadsPinterestBlueskyTumblrArtRabbit Kasra Aliha Artist and curator \u00b7 Born in Tehran, 1990 Born Tehran, 1990 Based in France Background Architectural engineering Media Digital photomontage and photography Online Website \u00b7 LinkedIn About the artist Kasra Aliha is an artist and curator based in France.
