For MIA image fair in Milan Italy, Roya Khadjavi has curateed a collection showcasing the photographic works of seven Iranian artists, each addressing the theme of “change” in their own unique ways. Arman Molavi aims to convey more than a mere representation of nature, but an emotion, a sensation, a personal and subjective vision of the world around us. He seeks to capture the intensity of emotions through vivid and saturated colors, reflecting the power of experience. Tooraj Khamenehzadeh’s “Disruption Project” captures eerie moments from the lockdown period in New York City, while Tahmineh Monzavi’s “Gen Z” series portrays the resilient Iranian youth. Negin Mahzoun employs textiles in her “Destruction” series to convey emotional trauma, while Dariush Nehdaran’s “Clandestinity” series explores concealment through broken mirrors. Sepideh Salehi celebrates womanhood and freedom fighters in her collages, and Ali Tahayori’s “Archive of Longing” delves into vulnerability and belonging through reconstructed vintage photographs, inviting viewers to reconsider history and memory through a queer diasporic lens.

April 10th - 14th
