description: "Parastou Forouhar is an Iranian installation artist who lives in and works out of Frankfurt, Germany. Forouhar's art reflects her criticism of the Iranian government and often plays with the ideas of identity. Her artwork expresses a critical response towards the politics in Iran and Islamic fundamentalism. The murder of her parents, Dariush Forouhar and Parvaneh Eskandari (Forouhar), fuels Forouhar's work. Forouhar's work has been exhibited around the world including Iran, Germany, Russia, Turkey, England, and the United States."
