Audineh Asaf is an interdisciplinary artist of Iranian-American heritage based in Seattle, WA. Working across disciplines and media, she explores the intersections of art and activism, using creative practices to bring awareness to critical social issues and promote cross-cultural understanding. Since the 2022 ‘Woman Life Freedom’ uprising in Iran, she has been creating work to amplify voices and document the stories of those who have risked their lives for freedom and human rights in Iran.

Asaf has exhibited widely across North America, including at the Jacob Lawrence Gallery at the University of Washington in Seattle, WA; Gallery II at Washington State University in Pullman, WA; the S. Tucker Cooke Gallery at the University of North Carolina Asheville in Asheville, NC; the Orange County Center for Contemporary Art in Santa Ana, CA; Culture Lab in Queens, NY; Woman Made Gallery in Chicago, IL; Gallery 4Culture in Seattle, WA; CityScape Community ArtSpace in Vancouver, BC, and the SAQA Special Exhibition at the Philadelphia Museum of Art Contemporary Craft Show in Philadelphia, PA.

In 2025, Asaf created a temporary public art installation as part of Shunpike’s Storefronts Program in Seattle, WA. Her work is also currently exhibited at Atelier Jolie in New York, NY, as part of Strand for Women 2025, a collective exhibition and participatory global art project co-presented by the Catharsis Arts Foundation and the Invisible Dog Art Center, with Asaf's work represented by the Iranian Women's Institute for Life and Liberty (I-WILL).

She received the 2022 Future Art Award from Mozaik Philanthropy and a 2023 Fellowship through the Robert B. McMillen Foundation.
