Join us at the private view of three unique exhibitions and the launch of our Nowruz Festival on Wednesday 12 March from 7.30 to 9.30pm.
In our Lower Gallery, experience Between Worlds, a captivating showcase of visual storytelling by Mehrdad Aref-Adib, Sahar Haghgoo, Sahar Khaleghi and Shokoufeh Fallah, who explore themes of identity, nature, and the interplay between reality and imagination using a fusion of digital, printmaking,
and mixed media techniques.
In our Upper Gallery, enjoy the elegance of Persian script, where tradition meets contemporary expression through the hands of dynamic father-daughter calligraphy duo Saeed and Tahmineh Palizdar and skilled calligrapher Razieh Riazati of Raaz Art in our Written Wonders exhibition.
In our Courtyard, we are delighted to exhibit Nowruz by the Women of Yaran, paintings and artificial flowers crafted by Yaran Women's Club members, a non-profit organisation solely established to help women of all ages who are suffering from isolation and mental health issues. These beautiful works represent not only the rebirth heralded in by Nowruz, but also the transformative power that Yaran Women's Club has on its members.
See these fabulous exhibitions first and help us launch our Nowruz Festival, a month-long celebration for Persian New Year, with exhibitions, talks from incredible speakers, a 'Haft-sin' Trail, a bazaar, jazz, a family art day and more.
This is a free event, but we kindly ask that you RSVP with our Marketing team to help us get a sense of numbers.
