He earned his bachelor&#8217;s degree in Theater Directing and Acting from Tehran University in 2013 and graduated with a master\u2019s degree from DAS Theater (Amsterdamse Hogeschool voor de Kunsten) in 2023.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fariborz\u2019s artistic practice explores the intersection of reality and dreams, questioning self-censorship in different contexts, influenced by his personal experiences. His recent works bridge physical spaces through remote collaborations, collective creations, and the use of sound, text, and video to activate the audience&#8217;s imagination. He addresses socio-political questions through autobiographical and fictional narratives, blurring the boundaries between dream and reality. His graduation piece, <em>Oh, Wild Gazelle, Where Are You?<\/em> (2023), was nominated for the AHK Graduation Awards. In 2024, he received the prestigious 3 Package Deal from AFK (Amsterdam Fund for the Arts).<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Iran, Fariborz co-founded Bohemi Theatre Collective, creating performances such as <em>I Can\u2019t Imagine Tomorrow<\/em> (2015) and <em>Medea<\/em> (2016-2018). His work has been presented at international festivals and venues including ITs Festival (NL), ITFOK Kerala (India), ACT Bilbao (Spain), BOZAR (Belgium), and Festival Cement (NL).<br>&nbsp;His projects have been supported by residences like Workspace Brussels (Belgium), HELLERAU (Germany), BUDA (Belgium), and Theater Rotterdam (welcome to our guest house).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Collaborators during wpZimmer residency in February 2025<strong>: Mona Ahmadi, Aria Baghestani, Lou Seidel, and Amirhossein Sadeghzadeh<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/wpzimmer.spot-digital.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/fariweb-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9790\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wpzimmer.spot-digital.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/fariweb-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wpzimmer.spot-digital.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/fariweb-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wpzimmer.spot-digital.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/fariweb-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/wpzimmer.spot-digital.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/fariweb-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wpzimmer.spot-digital.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/fariweb-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wpzimmer.spot-digital.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/fariweb-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/wpzimmer.spot-digital.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/fariweb.jpg 1875w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"9788\" src=\"https:\/\/wpzimmer.spot-digital.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/fariweb2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9788\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wpzimmer.spot-digital.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/fariweb2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wpzimmer.spot-digital.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/fariweb2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wpzimmer.spot-digital.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/fariweb2-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/wpzimmer.spot-digital.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/fariweb2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wpzimmer.spot-digital.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/fariweb2-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wpzimmer.spot-digital.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/fariweb2-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/wpzimmer.spot-digital.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/fariweb2.jpg 1875w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>&#8216;Welcome To Our Guesthouse&#8217;<\/em> 2024 images by Bart Grietens<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":9784,"template":"","class_list":["post-9783","artists","type-artists","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Fariborz Karimi - wpZimmer<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/wpzimmer.spot-digital.co\/en\/artists\/fariborz-karimi\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Fariborz Karimi - wpZimmer\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Fariborz Karimi (Tehran, 1990) is a theater maker, performer, and writer based in Amsterdam.
