HANGAR GALLERY
Iranian artist Maryam Firuzi explores themes of memory and identity, highlighting Iranian women. Through carefully composed images, she engages with the notions of presence and absence. Her work is an ode to resilience and transmission across generations. This exhibition marks the first presentation of her work in Belgium.
What she experienced in all these series was the close connection of Iranian women with creation. Through Scattered Memories of a Distorted Future, painter-artists breathed new life into forgotten places she discovered, inhabiting them with their works. In the Shadow of the Silent Women focuses on communities of women who watch over the cultural and artistic heritage of their civilization, protecting and passing it on. And in the series Women in Mirrors, Baluchi women "sewed" their presence into landscapes that had rendered them invisible, transforming erasure into existence through embroidery.
