Biography

Daniele Imani Nobar is a transdisciplinary artist born in Milan to an Italian mother and Iranian father. His work is deeply rooted in the themes of diaspora and its consequences, initially experienced through the physical distance from his origins and later extended into the global and digital sphere, where he explores how social and mass media shape our connection to place and identity.

Imani Nobar begins with found materials, which he processes, interprets, and connects through hybrid languages. He began his academic journey studying New Technologies of Art at the Academy of Urbino, before completing his degree in Multimedia Arts and Design at RUFA, where he concentrated on audiovisual media and their role in culture, history, and society.
