The exhibition “Women of the Shahnameh” was shaped by the selection of 16 influential female characters from both the mythical and historical sections of the Shahnameh. Some of the works were created specifically for this exhibition, while others were selected from the artist's previous works and chosen based on the overarching vision of the show.
In both cases, our perspective on the project has been as follows: “Reinterpreting the narrative of a historical or mythical woman through a contemporary artist's visual lens.” While each piece is rooted in the text of the Shahnameh, it has been filtered through the artist’s perspective, leading to various interpretations. As a result, it does not depend exclusively on the original text; instead, it offers a non-verbal, contemporary narrative of an influential woman. A visual narrative that aims to emphasize the overlooked elements of the original text.
