Onespace is proud to announce the representation of Prita Tina Yeganeh, a multidisciplinary artist, facilitator, and educator of Iranian descent, based in Magandjin (Brisbane), Queensland. Growing up in India and ‘Australia,’ Prita draws from her lived experiences as a refugee and migrant-settler, blending these with practice-based research in heritage artisan crafts to share personal and collective narratives on identity, displacement, cultural reclamation, and healing.
Prita works closely with her family and extended community, engaging with Iranian Indigenous knowledge systems, personal storytelling, and experimental research. Her work examines trans-cultural relationships to land and place, generational longing, collective labour, and cultural objects and rituals. Through these inquiries, she develops tools for cultural re-coordination, community-building, and place-making in ‘Australia.’
In addition, Prita has recently begun combining her engineering expertise with research into themes of identity, gender politics, poetry, and architecture within historic and contemporary Iranian spiritual and religious culture. Her practice expands immersive, community-engaged works, encompassing sensorial and embodied forms, including patterns, colour, scent, light, organic material, and spatial considerations.
