She holds a bachelor&#8217;s degree in Visual Communication from the University of Tehran and has been awarded a distinguished certification from the Iranian Calligraphers Association.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aghighi notes that throughout the history of Iranian calligraphy, women have occupied an admirable yet frequently overlooked role, with their accomplishments often marginalized by longstanding male political dominance in the field. Her work is included in the collections of institutions such as the British Museum and the Islamic Arts Museum Malaysia, and her pieces have been presented at auctions by Christie\u2019s, Sotheby\u2019s, and Tehran Auctions.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/k1arts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Screenshot_20251204_125331_Instagram-1-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1733\" srcset=\"https:\/\/k1arts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Screenshot_20251204_125331_Instagram-1-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/k1arts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Screenshot_20251204_125331_Instagram-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/k1arts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Screenshot_20251204_125331_Instagram-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/k1arts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Screenshot_20251204_125331_Instagram-1-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/k1arts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Screenshot_20251204_125331_Instagram-1-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/k1arts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Screenshot_20251204_125331_Instagram-1-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/k1arts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Screenshot_20251204_125331_Instagram-1.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><ul class=\"wp-block-social-links is-layout-flex wp-block-social-links-is-layout-flex\"><li class=\"wp-social-link wp-social-link-instagram wp-block-social-link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/azraaghighibakhshayeshi\/\" class=\"wp-block-social-link-anchor\"><svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\"><path d=\"M12,4.622c2.403,0,2.688,0.009,3.637,0.052c0.877,0.04,1.354,0.187,1.671,0.31c0.42,0.163,0.72,0.358,1.035,0.673 c0.315,0.315,0.51,0.615,0.673,1.035c0.123,0.317,0.27,0.794,0.31,1.671c0.043,0.949,0.052,1.234,0.052,3.637 s-0.009,2.688-0.052,3.637c-0.04,0.877-0.187,1.354-0.31,1.671c-0.163,0.42-0.358,0.72-0.673,1.035 c-0.315,0.315-0.615,0.51-1.035,0.673c-0.317,0.123-0.794,0.27-1.671,0.31c-0.949,0.043-1.233,0.052-3.637,0.052 s-2.688-0.009-3.637-0.052c-0.877-0.04-1.354-0.187-1.671-0.31c-0.42-0.163-0.72-0.358-1.035-0.673 c-0.315-0.315-0.51-0.615-0.673-1.035c-0.123-0.317-0.27-0.794-0.31-1.671C4.631,14.688,4.622,14.403,4.622,12 s0.009-2.688,0.052-3.637c0.04-0.877,0.187-1.354,0.31-1.671c0.163-0.42,0.358-0.72,0.673-1.035 c0.315-0.315,0.615-0.51,1.035-0.673c0.317-0.123,0.794-0.27,1.671-0.31C9.312,4.631,9.597,4.622,12,4.622 M12,3 C9.556,3,9.249,3.01,8.289,3.054C7.331,3.098,6.677,3.25,6.105,3.472C5.513,3.702,5.011,4.01,4.511,4.511 c-0.5,0.5-0.808,1.002-1.038,1.594C3.25,6.677,3.098,7.331,3.054,8.289C3.01,9.249,3,9.556,3,12c0,2.444,0.01,2.751,0.054,3.711 c0.044,0.958,0.196,1.612,0.418,2.185c0.23,0.592,0.538,1.094,1.038,1.594c0.5,0.5,1.002,0.808,1.594,1.038 c0.572,0.222,1.227,0.375,2.185,0.418C9.249,20.99,9.556,21,12,21s2.751-0.01,3.711-0.054c0.958-0.044,1.612-0.196,2.185-0.418 c0.592-0.23,1.094-0.538,1.594-1.038c0.5-0.5,0.808-1.002,1.038-1.594c0.222-0.572,0.375-1.227,0.418-2.185 C20.99,14.751,21,14.444,21,12s-0.01-2.751-0.054-3.711c-0.044-0.958-0.196-1.612-0.418-2.185c-0.23-0.592-0.538-1.094-1.038-1.594 c-0.5-0.5-1.002-0.808-1.594-1.038c-0.572-0.222-1.227-0.375-2.185-0.418C14.751,3.01,14.444,3,12,3L12,3z M12,7.378 c-2.552,0-4.622,2.069-4.622,4.622S9.448,16.622,12,16.622s4.622-2.069,4.622-4.622S14.552,7.378,12,7.378z M12,15 c-1.657,0-3-1.343-3-3s1.343-3,3-3s3,1.343,3,3S13.657,15,12,15z M16.804,6.116c-0.596,0-1.08,0.484-1.08,1.08 s0.484,1.08,1.08,1.08c0.596,0,1.08-0.484,1.08-1.08S17.401,6.116,16.804,6.116z\"><\/path><\/svg><span class=\"wp-block-social-link-label screen-reader-text\">Instagram<\/span><\/a><\/li><\/ul><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Azra Aghighi (born 1968) is an Iranian contemporary artist whose practice is rooted in Islamic calligraphy.
