An exhibition of artists of Iranian background

An exhibition of artists of Iranian background includes WA based Fatemeh Boroujeni Hafshejani, Layli Rakhsha, Nastaran Ghadiri, Elham Eshraghian, Neda Bahremand, Kianoosh Kavoosi plus Hoda Afshar, Mehrnoosh Ganji and Mohsen Meysami (Melbourne). Relocation and a sense of a home far away is a common theme for these artists/makers of Persian extraction. Each draws upon a rich cultural heritage, alongside the experience of living in Australia. Whether it be politics, longing for a lost past or a tribute to Iranian culture, these artists create works that cross the divide between art/craft/life.
