مگه خوابشو ببینی
في أحلامك
In your dreams
Artists: Dorsa Asadi, Chupan Atashi, Gisou Golshani, Fatemeh Kazemi, Lilian Nejatpour, Niloofar Taatizadeh, Maryam Tafakory. Curated by Yalda Bidshahri. Exhibition design by Zahra Mansoor.
What can we dream into reality? The flame of imagined possibilities within us foretells tangible manifestations. Letting the fire consume us like a torch, the clarifying illumination dismantles silencing forces.
Born from a premonition, In your dreams/في أحلامك/مگه خوابشو ببینی features multidisciplinary artworks that often combine traditional elements of Iranian culture with imagination and provocation offering emancipatory perspectives on identity and gender.
This is not idle daydreaming but a gripping attention to what feels so lucid that we cannot turn away. Having recognised this power to envision and the fullness of its satisfaction, we can accept no less.
Public programming, a library and a forthcoming publication accompany the exhibition. Click here to access the press kit, which includes the curatorial statement, artists' bios, and selected artwork images. And through this portal is an offering.🪞
