Farnaz Damnabi – Unveiled

Mostra personale.

Comunicato stampa

29 ARTS IN PROGRESS gallery is delighted to present the first personal exhibition of the young Iranian Artist Farnaz Damnabi: the exhibition, entitled ‘UNVEILED’, brings together a selection of works that tell visitors the tale – as refined as it is powerful – of a young female photographer from contemporary Iran, suspended between past and future. Damnabi documents a veritable collection of suspended moments, scenes of everyday life, rituals, garments and emblematic traditions of Iran.
In the highly personal and moving account she makes of her homeland, women and children
play the absolute starring role in her shots. The aim of her portraits is not to be controversial but rather representative, showing us with her own eyes a world which we are certainly aware of, but which now touches us more intensely and to the core.
Among these tales of isolation, loss and exclusion, Farnaz Damnabi’s young voice rises with refined
elegance as a shout of indignation combined with trust. Her photographs are concurrently delicate and powerful and while they impress us, they above all force us to see, to reflect, and to hope alongside her.

Opening reception:
Monday 22 May 2023, from 5 to 9 pm
The Artist currently lives and works in Teheran and will be present
