Roxane Casseghari

Roxane Cassehgari is a photographer and artist, born in France to an Iranian father and a Colombian mother. Alongside her artistic practice, she is also a human rights lawyer and researcher. While law and research allow her to frame questions about the world, photography becomes for her a space of freedom—more intuitive—where she can explore what words cannot capture. Her work examines diasporic memory, the emotions tied to exile, and the transmission—or loss—of culture. Through a sensitive and personal approach, she also reflects on our relationship to land: as origin, as heritage, and as a place of belonging within the living world. She has just published her first photobook, Le Retour, based on her journey to Iran after 20 years of absence, and the emotions that arise when one has grown up far from their country.
