Today's Life & War / Exhibition of works by Gohar Dashti, Shadi Ghadirian, and Tahmineh Monzavi - opening next Saturday, February 11th with an Artist's Reception from 3:00-5:00pm at 38 Newbury Street, Boston.

We are pleased to present "Today’s Life & War”, an exhibition of works by contemporary Iranian photographers Gohar Dashti, Shadi Ghadirian, and Tahmineh Monzavi. Presenting a selection of important photographs over the last twenty years of their careers, these images illustrate the legacy and remnants of war as it continues to impact society and culture. As women artists, their work transcends the lens and context of the Middle East and defies categorization by religion, politics, or geography. Addressing issues of gender equality and identity, their works are not only rooted in Iran or islamic culture, but offer a global reflection on empowerment as well as the physical and mental turmoil and destruction of war. As a testament to their artistic importance and impact, these works still speak to audiences today beyond borders. As the title of Tahmineh Monzavi’s series “Past Continues” implies, the devastation of war repeats itself, and so does the human tragedy and destruction. Several of the works on view were first shown in the US in the groundbreaking exhibition “She Who Tells A Story” at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston. Email [email protected] for more information.
