Mina Zarfsaz is an interdisciplinary artist, designer, and educator whose work explores translation across language, technology, and embodiment. Through installation, performance, immersive media, and public interventions, she develops participatory and research-based projects that surface hidden social, ecological, and perceptual relations.
Rooted in glitch feminism and systems thinking, her practice treats disruption as a generative method for inquiry, relation, and reimagining. Her work often unfolds through collaborative, multisensory forms that engage collective memory, public space, and more-than-human environments.
She is Assistant Professor at Rowan University, where she coordinates the Graphic Design program and directs the Institute for Innovative Media, Materials & Design (IMMaD). Her work has been presented in galleries, universities, and public contexts in the U.S. and internationally, and her writing has appeared in a range of art and cultural publications.
Outside of work, she thrives in nature and is endlessly curious about outer space.
