Bahar Noorizadeh is filmmaker, writer, and platform designer. She works on the reformulation of hegemonic time narratives as they collapse in the face of speculation: philosophical, financial, legal, futural, etc. Noorizadeh is a founding member of BLOCC (Building Leverage over Creative Capitalism), a research and education platform that proposes pedagogy as a strategy to alter the relationship between Contemporary Art and urban renewal. Her current research examines the intersections of finance, Contemporary Art and emerging technology, building on the notion of “Weird Economies” to precipitate a cross-disciplinary approach to economic futurism and post-financialization imaginaries. At a time when the discourse around capitalism, economies, financialization and neoliberalism is abundant but lacks serious depths into the complexities, history and potentials it holds, Noorizadeh’s practice maintains an important critical proposition that problematizes how we understand and think of these issues while simultaneously urging us to reconsider our position on them.
