Profile

Dina Nasser-Khadivi is an independent curator and consultant, specializing in Contemporary art. Originally a 19/20th century art specialist at Christie’s, Dina began to work with Middle Eastern Contemporary art in 2006, developing an international platform for the artists by organizing numerous awareness-raising initiatives, including the symposium “An Introduction to the World of Iranian Modern and Contemporary Art”(2010) held at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, The Houston Museum of Fine Arts and the MOCA in Los Angeles.

With projects that have included curating private collections and advising institutions, Dina works globally. Exhibitions she has curated include “Love Me, Love Me Not” (2013) at the 55th Venice Biennale, which later travelled to the Zaha Hadid-designed Heydar Aliyev Center (2014), as well as Shirin Neshat’s exhibition “The Home of My Eyes” (2015) in Baku.

In addition to the catalogues of the exhibitions she curated, she edited and produced Lalla Essaydi’s monograph “Crossing Boundaries, Bridging Cultures” published by ACR (2015), Farhad Moshiri’s double volume monograph “Life is Beautiful’ published by SKIRA (2016) and collaborated the following year with the Andy Warhol Museum for Moshiri’s first retrospective in the US “Go West” (2017).
