Anahita Neghabat

A person with very short hair stands in front of a white wall with exhibition texts. They wear a black, red, and grey jacket, a necklace with silver elements, and grey trousers. One hand is in their pocket, and they look calmly and directly into the camera.

Anahita Neghabat (she/her) is a social anthropologist working in Vienna at the intersection of art, research, and activism. Her practice combines critical education, feminism, and the analysis of (anti-Muslim) racism with artistic forms of expression. Using memes, she employs digital imagery and satire for political education as well as a tool for resistance and empowerment; since 2020, she has been leading political meme workshops. She has been active in numerous community-based initiatives led by groups affected by racism and has conducted research on inclusive arts education and cultural citizenship. At the association Vielmehr für alle! – Verein für Bildung, Wohnen und Teilhabe, she serves as head of the Institut für Migrationspädagogik and as a trainer in the educational project PROSA – Project School for All! for people with refugee backgrounds.
