Episode 124: Farrah Karapetian

Published: April 7, 2021, 7 a.m.

Farrah Karapetian is an artist based in California. Known for her large-scale photograms, Farrah\u2019s wide-ranging practice incorporates sculpture, performance, and different forms of mark-making to stretch the photographic medium as she is driven by her intense and rigorous curiosity. In our conversation, Farrah and I talked about the appeal of the photographic medium, the tension between constructing an image and the happy accident, and the ethics of artistic beauty. Then in the second segment, we discussed the Nardal sisters and how we develop a language around issues like exoticization.
