Between Two Worlds: the Artistic Practices of Maryam and Marjan Baniasadi

Ameera Khan

Nov 27, 2025

Born in 1993, Iranian artists and sisters, Maryam and Marjan Baniasadi, work in different mediums, but share the same impulse: preservation. For Marjan, it’s the threadbare nature of Persian carpets; for Maryam, the fragile persistence of plants in the city. Ameera Khan charts their decade-long artistic practices, both individually and as a sister-duo.
