Mina Heydari-Waite is a British-Iranian interdisciplinary artist based in Glasgow. Working across moving image, installation and sculpture, her practice draws together workshops, archival research, material exploration, familial histories and cross-disciplinary dialogue. Her work examines infrastructures of power, memory and transmission, treating affect not as interior sentiment but as a point of departure through which histories register and collectivities form.

Recent projects include the moving image installation ‘Farang’, commissioned by OFFLINE and presented as part of Glasgow International Festival of Visual Art 2024, and later selected for the European Media Art Festival and London Short Film Festival in 2025. She was also selected for Fluent’s PRAXIS international study programme (2024), led by Fred Moten, Stefano Harney, Anne Boyer, Andrea Rodrigo and Michael Marder. Other solo exhibitions include ’33 Seeds’ at Devonshire Collective, Eastbourne (2022), and ‘in sleep it made itself present to them’ at Collective, Edinburgh (2021). Awards and residencies include support from Creative Scotland, Scottish Sculpture Workshop, Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop and Jerwood Arts.
