Aménéh Moayedi is an Iranian-born graphic designer and visual artist based in Paris whose work embodies a powerful commitment to peace, social justice, and cultural identity. Working across poster design, installations, performance, and multidisciplinary visual projects, she uses art as a tool of resistance and dialogue. She began her studies in graphic design in Iran, earning a Bac+4 degree and founding her own design studio in Bushehr. At just 21, she staged a bold solo exhibition denouncing public executions in Iran an early testament to her dedication to socially engaged design and to giving visual form to silenced voices. In 2015, she earned a Master’s degree in Visual Communication (DNSEP) with distinction from the École Supérieure d’Art de Cambrai in France. Her academic path also includes training in French language and culture, professional carpet weaving, and ceramic arts, grounding her visual practice in both tradition and innovation. Moayedi’s work has been presented in more than 50 countries across Asia, Europe, the Americas, and the Middle East, including major biennials, triennials, and international exhibitions. Her posters have been exhibited from China to Peru, Poland, South Korea to Mexico, Poland to the USA. She has received numerous awards and distinctions for her contributions to contemporary graphic design and has served as a juror and advisor for international poster competitions and exhibitions. In September 2022, she founded and now directs Poster for Iran, an international collective bringing together over 200 artists from 50 nationalities who have created more than 500 posters under the rallying cry “Woman, Life, Freedom.” This groundbreaking project, widely recognized worldwide, stands as a powerful platform of solidarity with the Iranian women’s revolution, amplifying the voices of those fighting for freedom, dignity, and equality. Through this initiative, Moayedi continues to shape a global visual language of resistance and hope.
Her practice is not only artistic but also political a sustained, transnational act of resistance that challenges oppression and celebrates the transformative power of women, art, and collective action.
