Living the Unknown Exhibition Opening
Iranian-born artist Sara Rastegar employs interdisciplinary practices encompassing Installation Art, Sculpture, Photography, and Printmaking to invite viewers to transcend boundaries and embrace the unknown. Utilizing a diverse array of artistic materials including glass, bronze, plaster, wood, concrete, and prints, her art engages the senses and prompts contemplation of the immigration experience.
Fellow exhibitor Nida Bangash’s art is intricate patterns and precise detail that weaves in personal identity and experience to investigate the complexities of immigration, colonialism, culture, and race. Iranian filmmaker and interdisciplinary artist Fatemeh Hosseini uses an interactive installation of video art and visual art to explore a connection that might only exist intuitively but is an intersecting moment when the viewer responds to a quest to confront a state of alienation from the self and to find reconciliation through connecting.
