Biography

Simin Keramati was born in 1970 in Tehran, Imperial State of Iran.[5][6] She attended Islamic Azad University, where she received a B.A. degree (1995) in English;[7] and the Tehran University of Art, where she received a M.A. degree (1996) in painting.[5][6] She moved to Toronto in 2013,[5] where she attended George Brown College.

Keramati's art work focuses on socio-political topics, identity, and the injustices facing women in Iran.[1][2] Some of her art contemporaries include Shirin Neshat, Shadi Ghadirian, and Newsha Tavakolian.[1][8]

In 2009, Keramati was part of the group exhibition, Made in Iran, curated by Arianne Levene and Eglantine de Ganay and held at the Asia House, London; other artists in the show included Nazgol Ansarinia, Shirin Aliabadi, Behrouz Rae, Vahid Sharifian, Peyman Hooshmandzadeh, and Arash Hanaei.[9][10][11] Her work was part of the group exhibition, Art Brief IV: Iranian Contemporary San Francisco (2018) held at SOMA Arts in San Francisco, created in conjunction with the nonprofit group Moms Against Poverty (MAP).[12]

In September 2022, during the Mahsa Amini protests she helped organize the protest event outside of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario, and Keramati also created a notable protest poster.[2]

She created the second installment of the PaykanArtCar, unveiled in June 2023.[13][14][15]
