​Tara Rowhani-Farid is an Iranian-Australian artist based in Tarntanya, South Australia.

 

Her recent work grapples with remembering, intergenerational trauma, and the way that hybrid cultural identities are formed and cultivated over time. Through painting, Tara examines her connection to a homeland she cannot physically access, drawing on inherited yet fragmented stories, displaced cultural artefacts, and imagery found online.

 

Within Tara's current practice, painting is a way to approach and interrogate her personal experiences and family history, navigating the cultural, religious, and political dimensions that reveal themselves through this process. 

 

Tara is currently undertaking a PhD at the University of South Australia, where she teaches in the Painting and Drawing department.

Tara is represented by Aster + Asha Gallery.
