Nowruz           
by the Women of Yaran

We are delighted to exhibit paintings and artificial flowers crafted by Yaran Women's Club members in celebration of Persian New Year as part of our Nowruz Cultural Festival.

Yaran Women's Club is a non-profit constituted organisation and is solely established to help women of all ages who are suffering from isolation and loneliness, anxiety and depression or any other kind of mental health issues. It is a safe place for women and their children.

Yaran's aim is to promote the members’ emotional health and confidence and to encourage them back to the society. Yaran provides a sense of community and develop friendship through social, educational and free courses and activities. It is a registered charity, non-partisan which does not endorse any political or religious group or position.

The collaborative exhibition was created by women of Yaran and their teacher Mitra, a professional textile artist, combining paintings with artificial flowers. Each member contributed by sticking flowers onto the canvas and textile and painting over them, producing unique and amazing works of art.

Widely observed in various regions, including the Middle East, Asia, the Balkans, and East Africa, Nowruz has evolved with diverse traditions centred around the theme of rebirth. Celebrated around the spring equinox, Nowruz announces the transition from winter to spring in the northern hemisphere. 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.
