Matilda Aslizadeh (born 1976) is an Iranian-born Canadian visual artist and educator. She was born in Iran and moved to Greece after the Iranian Revolution in 1979. A few years later, her family settled in Vancouver, British Columbia.
Aslizadeh utilizes video, photography, and installation to rethink narrative structures such as the "classic fall and redemption narrative."[1] She has also artistically and pedagogically explored the expansion of media archeology into non-Western practices "that incorporate old and new immersive technologies to understand how they enable engagement with other cosmologies that continue to co-exist and co-evolve in our global context of accelerated capitalism."[2]
