Yasaman Tamizkar

​

Yasaman Tamizkar- an artist, curator and exhibition producer, is the founder of Mosem Platform. Currently based in Belgium, her work bridges visual culture between Iran, South Asia, and Europe, with a dedicated focus on Iranian Diaspora artists and creative practices from the region.

With a background in visual communication (Iran, 2013) and graduate degrees in Curatorial Studies (KASK, 2021) and Cultural Studies (KU Leuven, 2022), her practice integrates rigorous theoretical research with hands-on technical production. Her background spans work across art residencies, cultural houses, and galleries, informed by a formative curatorial fellowship at Khoj (New Delhi) in collaboration with the Goethe-Institut South Asia, alongside exhibition production for institutions such as STUK (Leuven) and Netwerk Aalst in Belgium.

Her curatorial focus explores the intersections of memory, the uncanny, reality, and dreams. Drawing deeply on literary traditions from Iran and beyond, she uses fiction, fantasy, and magical realism as curatorial frameworks to construct alternative narratives, spatial storytelling, and immersive display environments.
