Of Wounds and Songs

Two Rivers Gallery, Prince George, BC - To Jul 13

by Michael Turner

Mounted in collaboration with Vancouver’s Iranian Visual Arts (VIVA) Alliance, this exhibition of eight artists takes constraint as its point of departure. Constraint in this insistence includes a global rise in authoritarian governments and the societal restrictions they exert. But where there is power, there is also resistance, and it is through collective strategies that individuals, once allied, find new and inventive means of self-expression. With works by Ali Ahadi, Anahita Norouzi, Arezou Moeini, Banafsheh Modaressi, Hadis Vahidi, Mohsen Khalili, Reyhan Yazdani and Shoora Majedian.
