Amirali Ghasemi (b. 1980, Iran) is a curator, media artist, and graphic designer based between Tehran and Berlin. He graduated in 2004 with a BA in Graphic Design from Central Tehran Azad University, focusing on research in digital art history. In 1998, Amirali founded Parkingallery, an independent project space in Tehran, and in 2002, he launched Parkingallery.com, an online platform for young Iranian artists. Amirali has shown his photographs, videos, and design works at various festivals and exhibitions internationally.

As a curator, he has directed numerous exhibitions, workshops, and talks for Parkingallery projects, such as Deep Depression (2004–06) and Sideways in Tehran (2008). He co-curated The Urban Jealousy, the 1st International Roaming Biennial of Tehran (2008–09), and eight editions of the Limited Access Festival for moving images, sound, and performance (2007–19).

Amirali was the guest curator for CCBRUGGE in 2010, and IRAN&CO is his ongoing curatorial project—an exhibition and archive of Iranian art representation beyond its borders. Alongside his independent curatorial programs like The Invisible Present (Brazil, USA, Germany, Iran), he has guest-programmed for many festivals, including the International Film Festival Rotterdam (2013), the 36th Göteborg Film Festival, and the 10th Beijing Independent Film Festival.

In the summer of 2014, Amirali co-founded New Media Society, a network-based research platform and library. He joined the Postgraduate M.A. Course “Art in Context” at the Berlin University of the Arts in 2015.

He is currently working on texts, photography projects, archives, and time-based media, in addition to writing about Iranian early video art, new media, and moving images.
