Bita Razavi

Bita Razavi is a multidisciplinary artist known for her autofictional practice centered around observations of everyday situations. She examines the inner workings of social systems in relation with the political structures and national events of historic proportions in various countries.While working as a cleaner in Helsinki, Razavi photographed design objects in Finnish homes, observing them as a manifestation of national identity. She married her schoolmate in her studio at the Academy of Fine Arts to address Finnish immigration policies and spent four years renovating two houses in Estonia to study the Soviet renovation practices through years of changing economic and political situations. Razavi was the recipient of Oskar Öflunds Foundation’s grand prize in 2017 and The Fine Arts Academy of Finland Foundation Prize in 2025. She represented Estonia in the 59th Venice Biennale together with Kristina Norman.
