Mahsa Fallah is an Iranian multidisciplinary artist working in installation, performance, and interactive time-based media. She holds a BA and MA in Puppet Theater from the University of Tehran and an MFA in Sculpture and Intermedia from the University of Iowa. She is currently pursuing a PhD in Theatre and Performance Studies at the University of Maryland, College Park.
Her practice explores the shifting boundaries between control and power, agency, hierarchy, and the body. Fallah examines how systems of power—political, technological, or emotional—shape our sense of agency and the way we experience the world.
Rooted in her experience of systemic oppression and years of working as a puppeteer, her practice becomes a site to question these relations, tracing how control and power dynamics constantly shape each other.
