ReSIA – Sohelia Sokhanvari – In the Age of Delirium

(25th November 2021) This presentation covers Sokhanvari’s artwork and explains the ideas behind how the female image has become synonymous with Iran’s ideologies. Including some of the latest works for her upcoming major solo show in 2022, she presents the story of the struggle of female cultural icons against the backlash from the conservative reactionaries and explains how after the revolution their voices were silenced, and their images banned. Sokhanvari introduces the techniques employed in her paintings and drawings, such as the medieval process of egg tempera on calf vellum and the Iranian crude oil on paper, and highlights how the material itself carries a strong political message that has been a matter of debate in the media.
