Finché non saremo libere
On Thursday November 9, the exhibition titled "Finché non saremo libere", curated by me, opened in Brescia at the Museo di Santa Giulia.
The group show, promoted by the Fondazione Brescia Musei and the Associazione Genesi, include a section of works by women artists from the Associazione Genesi Collection, but its focus and most important section is that dedicated to the women condition in Iran.
This section is developed through the works of Shirin Neshat and Soudeh Davoud, as well as, especially, through two monographic rooms of two historical and important Iranian women artists, Sonia Balassanian (1942) and Farideh Lashai.
Sonia Balassanian was included in the Venice Biennale in 1997 and 2007, as well as in the Istanbul Biennial in 2015.
Farideh Lashai (1944-2013) was the artist to whom Germano Celant dedicated a monograph and a solo show at the Teheran Museum in 2016.
An artist residence by the young Iranian artist Zoya Shokoohi is also part of the exhibition in Brescia.

Monumental Narratives: Artist Soudeh Davoud on the Weight of Iran’s History

Immortal Flowers 2023
The works on paper quietly reflect the rage felt by Davoud at the war being waged against the rights of Iranian women. Clear references are made to protest in her recent body of work, rewarded through close examination of "Immortal Flowers".

TEKRAR: AN EXHIBITION OF NEW WORKS BY SOUDEH DAVOUD
May 28 – June 30, 2022
Preview: Friday, May 27, 11 am – 6 pm
Opening Reception: Saturday, May 28, 5 pm ‐ 9 pm
Hamzianpour & Kia is pleased to present TEKRAR, the first solo exhibition of Tehran-based artist Soudeh Davoud in the United States. Born in 1988, Davoud is one of a new generation of Iranian women artists whose subject matter is of women before and after the revolution in Iran. Focusing on family, friends, and highly recognized women of their time, she metaphorically weaves a fabric of found and imagined imagery of both generations, culled from her intensive research of photographs, documentaries, home movies, and printed and shared stories from the past. Davoud proffers a paintable history with personal insight into the experience of the hidden women of her land and to those who like her must fight bravely for their right to live in society as they choose. Often depicted in various socio-political and historical situations, these women in reality exist in a patriarchal society. They are forced for the sake of their own survival to succumb to the telling of a history that has attempted to exclude women. Her art emphasizes how the “power of presence” constitutes women’s agency in today’s Iran.
To create a visual threshold between these two generations and different cultures, Davoud uses a layering process of abstract paint washes and erratic colored pencil cross-hatchings to form photographic-like images that seem to emerge from the depths of memory and a history erased. Each work presents a different narrative and setting, collapsing time. The exhibition includes two new large-scale paintings on flat canvas, two medium large color and 11 black and white small works on paper, all exclusively made for the gallery.

Soudeh Davoud was among the thirteen Iranian artists included in the exhibition curated by Shirin Neshat and organized by the Center for Human Rights in Iran (CHRI), entitled A Bridge Between You and Everything.
It was held in 2019 in High Line Nine in New York. Honor is part of a series of paintings entitled Vaghaye Ettefaghiye that, like all of the artist’s research, tells the stories of women who were and are around her, who were and are fighters in patriarchal societies, but who have never been talked about. Vaghaye Ettefaghiye refers to Iran’s historical events, recalling the heroines who fight constantly for their country and their right to live.
Soudeh Davoud began her career with the Aun Gallery in Tehran under the management of Afarin Neysari. She is currently the featured artist at Mah Gallery and the Iranian Contemporary Graphic Designers Festival. To date she has presented four solo exhibitions in Iran and Europe, as well as a recent group show in The High Line Nine in New York, curated by the artist Shirin Neshat (in 2019). She exhibited at Palazzo Bastogi in Florence, curated by Middle East and Europe Specified Institute of Contemporary Arts (SAFPEM, in 2018); and at the Asia House in London, curated by Capital Art Society (in 2018). In 2020, Soudeh was selected as The Women Artists Who Deserve Our Attention, According to 9 Leading Artists from “Artsy Magazine.” In 2021, she was selected among the ten women artists of the show at Janet Rady Fine Art Ltd in London.

Iranian Women Artists Showcased in Upcoming Exhibit Curated by Shirin Neshat - 2019
Exhibition Extended Until December 14
October 14, 2019 – The Center for Human Rights in Iran is honored to announce an upcoming exhibition of 13 contemporary Iranian women artists in New York City, curated by the internationally acclaimed artist Shirin Neshat.
The show, A Bridge Between You and Everything features nearly 100 works—paintings, drawings, sculpture, photography and video—by both established and emerging artists, who began working after Iran’s 1979 Islamic Revolution. The exhibition is organized by the Center.
“At a time when the Western world is shining a spotlight on women’s issues and equality, it’s vital that we use this moment of the public imagination to empower dialogues from women and immigrant artists who have, and likely still continue to experience forms of repression, both in the extreme and every day,” curator Shirin Neshat said.
“This exhibit showcases the richness of contemporary Iranian art and the ability of these women to communicate vital and universal themes of identity and gender through their artistic vision,” added Hadi Ghaemi, executive director of the Center for Human Rights in Iran.
