S Emsaki works to deconstruct and disorient East-West subject-object positionings through video, drawing, and multimedia installations incorporating found and provisional elements. Born and raised in Isfahan, Iran, Emsaki’s practice unsettles the legacies of petro-imperialism by engaging with marginalized archives and intimate histories of human and non-human subjects. Currently based in NYC, Emsaki is an alum of the Whitney Museum’s Independent Study Program and holds an MFA from Yale University and a BA from UC Berkeley.
S Emsaki has exhibited work at Westbeth Gallery, New York; San Francisco Arts Commission, San Francisco; and Provincetown Art Association and Museum (PAAM), Massachusetts, among others.
