About

Niku Kashef is a multidisciplinary artist and educator living and working in Los Angeles. Her process stems from the desire to question and understand through exploration. Often her artwork deals with ideas of displacement and the uncanny, perhaps as a result of the many migrations she made as a child. Her work employs a wide range of new media and traditional techniques including photography, installation and book-making.

Niku has shown work at the Monterey Museum of Art (Monterey, CA), The Museum of Arts & Crafts-ITAMI (Japan), Symbol Art Gallery (Budapest, Hungary), the Washington Gallery (Washington DC), SCA Gallery (Pomona), Arena 1 (Santa Monica), Gallery 825 (Los Angeles), and the Brand Library Art Galleries (Glendale). She serves on both local and national committees for the arts including the College Art Association's Student and Emerging Professionals Committee and she is Special Projects Chair for the Southern California Women's Caucus for Art. With her MFA in Visual Communication she is currently an adjunct at both California State University, Northridge and Woodbury University.
