Peppa is an interdisciplinary artist and educator whose art work joins experimental video, sculpture, writing, herbalism, pedagogy, and community engagement. Her practice explores how history, memory, healing, and fantasy manifest in the body and the environment. She is the founder and director of After School Art Space, and currently teaches and writes curriculum joining art, environmental justice, experiential outdoor and service learning. Peppa has presented her art work, research, and pedagogy at the Psychology and the Arts Conference (2022, 2018) and the Arts in Society International Conference (2019). Peppa’s writing has been published by The Center for Iranian Diaspora Studies at San Francisco State University.
