Arya Badiyan is a multi-disciplinary conceptual artist. Her most recent body of work explores American values in light of a 400 year-old history that falls short of upholding them. Arya juxtaposes text and image, embedding the conceptual narrative within the work. The purpose of this work is to facilitate healing from the diseases of racism, sexism and American exceptionalism. Each piece cuts through oppositional consensus narratives, laying bare the truth; inviting reconciliation of the wrongs that stain our country’s past and present.
