 | This draft was created at an MENA Artists Month edit-a-thon in 2016. It is a work in progress and will be revisited by the organizing team. Make sure that your article has several reliable sources that are independent of the subject, i.e. not from the artist or their representatives. Instead, focus on journalistic and scholarly sources. The section headings are only advisory, and you should remove any that do not apply. Only list major exhibitions and works, not a complete resumé. |
Editing has begun on this draft.

Armita Raafat is an Iranian-American artist based in New York City. She is primarily a sculptor, and interprets the Middle Eastern architectural element muqarnas in plaster, mirror, and pigment instead of traditonal stucco treatment. In Raafat's wall installations, the crumbling works suggest ruins.[1]
