Julianne Nicholson Instagram – @soheila_sokhanvari_ at @barbicancentre Rebel Rebel, the first major UK commission by Iranian artist Soheila Sokhanvari, celebrates and commemorates feminist icons from pre-revolutionary Iran.
Sokhanvari transforms the Curve into a devotional space, populated with exquisite miniature portraits of glamorous cultural figures from Iran. The project spotlights the rarely told histories of these women, who pursued creative careers in a culture enamoured with Western style but not its freedoms. ❤️such a beautiful show | Posted on 14/Jan/2023 20:55:00
