Biography
Cassidy Brauner Jarrahi’s research and work focus on the vernacular and the less considered, historically significant, images, objects, and stories - pushing up against singular definitions of reality by unpacking the personal alongside the public and the shared. She explores these themes through photography, video, performance, and mixed media/text. Cassidy has exhibited her work in shows nationally and internationally.
In addition to her artistic practice, Cassidy is deeply committed to the power of pedagogy, both as an educator and as a lifelong learner. She prioritizes interdisciplinary approaches, student-centered learning, and community engagement. Recently, her efforts have focused on working with arts-based recovery programs and contributing to the development of regional archives.
