The World of Iranian Women

Artists: Sara Sasani and Zohre Solati.

Curators: Zahira Mozaffari, curator, Zurich/Tehran and the Videocity Team.

Andrea Domesle, director of Videocity, writes:

Iranian contemporary art is rarely shown in Europe. Curator Zahira Mozaffari focuses on the work of two young women who live in Tehran, where they exhibit in galleries and at international film festivals.

After Basel, their video works are now being shown in Switzerland for the second time. What is special is that the two artists live in Tehran and critically reflect on global issues such as environmental pollution and the status of women in their short videos.

In European media news programmes, we are currently hearing a lot about the obligation to wear headscarves and the blatant oppression of women by the mullah regime. We are therefore all the more pleased that there are such self-confident women artists in Tehran who are pursuing their very own artistic style.
