Setareh Noorani is an architect, researcher and curator at Nieuwe Instituut, and an independent artist. Noorani’s spatial and architectural designs emphasise her ongoing research into (institutional) spaces for collective inhabitation and appropriation, centering unde-rnarrated voices. Setareh’s current (curatorial) research at the Nieuwe Instituut, focuses on the paradigm-shifting notions of decoloniality, feminisms, queer ecologies, non-institutional and collective representations in contemporary architecture, its heritage and future scenarios.
