Navid Haghighi

Navid is an interdisciplinary artist and educator born in Iran and currently based in Boston. His practice engages with personal and collective memory, censorship, and erasure, often drawing from family archives and the sociopolitical ruptures that followed the Iranian Revolution of 1979. Through photography, montage, and experimental printmaking, he explores the tension between what is preserved and what disappears, creating works that speak to the fragility of history and the resilience of memory. His current project reflects on missing photographs and fragmented narratives through handmade photographic processes, including iron-silver printing and photomontage. Navid holds an MFA in Photography from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design (2018). He has taught in the Department of Art, Film, and Visual Studies at Harvard University’s Carpenter Center. His work has been exhibited nationally and internationally and is part of the permanent collection at FOTOHOF Gallery in Salzburg, Austria.
