Neda Saeedi (b. Tehran, Iran) is a Berlin-based artist whose work explores the interplay between memory, materiality, and the narratives embedded in objects. Fascinated by how materials carry histories — both fragile and enduring — she uses sculpture and installation to create immersive environments where industrial andorganic elements interact with light and space. Glass, with its tension between vulnerability and resilience, and steel, evoking the weight of oppressive structures, arecentral to her practice, forming metaphors for remembering and forgetting, preservation and erasure. Through her work, Saeedi investigates historical and cultural contexts, constructing spaces where objects are not merely staticbut active participants in unfolding narratives. Her material choices become carriers of meaning, challenging viewers to reconsider the stories we inherit and those yet to be written. She studied classical sculpture under Raffie Davtian in Tehran before earning her Fine Artsdegree at the Lens-Based Class of Prof. Hito Steyerlat the Berlin University of the Arts (UdK). Saeedi has received numerous accolades, including the Villa Romana Prize (2022), a fellowship at the Max Planck Institute in Florence, the Kunstfonds Scholarship (2020),and The Elsa Neumann Emerging Artist Prize (2019). She is also an alumna of the Delfina Foundation Artist Residency in London.
