Marjan vayghan

Born a war zone baby, in the late 1900s, to Azerbaijani parents in Tehran, Iran, Marjan Khoshbakhti Vayghan emigrated to the United States in the Spring of 1995, settling with her family in Los Angeles, California. Marjan continues to live and exhibit alternatively between Teheran and Los Angeles. Her practice is informed by this context of movement and flexible citizenship across both geographical and cultural spaces, and the multiple realities these spaces engender.
