On View: Minoo Emami: Under My Veil
Themes of resistance and resilience cut through the multidisciplinary work of Iranian artist Minoo Emami.
This retrospective exhibition highlights the artist’s early career as a self-taught painter, alongside experiments in sculpture, photography, printmaking, video, and installation art that come together to transform the trauma of war and oppression into objects of beauty and hope. Significantly, the exhibition will include new, never-before-seen work created over the past year in response to the ongoing Women’s Rights Movement in Iran.
The community is invited to visit Silpe Gallery on the following dates to engage in quilt making with the artist: Sept. 22, Sept. 23, Sept. 26, Sept. 30, Oct. 3, Oct. 11, Oct. 18, and Oct. 21. This will culminate in a performance and burning of the quilt on Nov. 11.
