بر آنها که کرامتمان را بر سفرههای خالی معیشت و بر آنها که حیثیتمان را بر تاج و تخت سلطنت به سخره گرفتهاند
زن، زندگی،آزادی را فریاد میکشیم.
شبهای پنجشنبه و جمعه را به آتشفشان این خروش روشن کنیم.
پژواک فریادتان، در هر کجا شنیدنی خواهد بود.
#زن_زندگى_آزادى #ژن_ژیان_ئازادی

Designed for “The Bride Has Gone to Pick Flowers,” a group exhibition curated by Lila Nazemian presenting works by Levon Kafafian, Fatemeh Kazemi, and Levani at @cueart
————————————————————————————
Artists: @visionsoftransition @afimoh_____ @levanmindi
Curator: @just.lila
Mentor: @mjosephm
————————————————————————————
The artists in “The Bride Has Gone to Pick Flowers” utilize installation, sculpture, assemblage, textile, sound, and performance to delve into the significance of marriage rituals from the Caucasus region. Together, they create new worlds that reimagine these traditions through a speculative and queer lens.
The exhibition title references a phrase common in Iranian wedding ceremonies: “عروس رفته گل بچینه”, spoken as part of a playful consent ritual at the altar. When the bride demurs at the first or second offer of marriage, guests chime in with various lighthearted reasons for why she cannot respond, before the inevitable “yes” arrives.
Within the exhibition, the eponymous bride becomes a metaphor for the fluid and evolving nature of identity. Each artist engages with the concept of alter egos as a vehicle for exploring and reinterpreting inherited practices. They embody ancient deities and iconic literary figures to question societal norms, reposition archetypal constructs, and expand the boundaries of established customs. Through their work, “The Bride Has Gone to Pick Flowers” transforms the exhibition space into a sanctuary, inviting viewers to consider how ancient traditions and contemporary realities intertwine to shape our individual and collective understandings of love, identity, and community.

The Bride Has Gone to Pick Flowers
January 30–May 10, 2025

🌺 ANNOUNCING: “The Bride Has Gone to Pick Flowers,” a group exhibition curated by Lila Nazemian presenting works by Levon Kafafian, Fatemeh Kazemi, and Levani.
Join us at the opening reception on Thursday, January 30th at CUE 🥂
The artists in “The Bride Has Gone to Pick Flowers” utilize installation, sculpture, assemblage, textile, sound, and performance to delve into the significance of marriage rituals from the Caucasus region. Together, they create new worlds that reimagine these traditions through a speculative and queer lens.
The exhibition title references a phrase common in Iranian wedding ceremonies: “عروس رفته گل بچینه”, spoken as part of a playful consent ritual at the altar. When the bride demurs at the first or second offer of marriage, guests chime in with various lighthearted reasons for why she cannot respond, before the inevitable “yes” arrives.
Within the exhibition, the eponymous bride becomes a metaphor for the fluid and evolving nature of identity. Each artist engages with the concept of alter egos as a vehicle for exploring and reinterpreting inherited practices. They embody ancient deities and iconic literary figures to question societal norms, reposition archetypal constructs, and expand the boundaries of established customs. Through their work, “The Bride Has Gone to Pick Flowers” transforms the exhibition space into a sanctuary, inviting viewers to consider how ancient traditions and contemporary realities intertwine to shape our individual and collective understandings of love, identity, and community.

Special thanks to: @p_s_won @warholfoundation @cityofiowacity @protohaven @lightsoundslike @theestrawman @h.e.givler
————————————————————————————
This Too, is derived from the phrase “This too shall pass,” believed to have originated in Farsi and among Sufi poets. The adage aims to bring joy in times of sorrow and melancholy in times of satisfaction, serving as a reminder of the ephemerality of all conditions. The written phrase, “.این نیز بگذرد” contains twelve characters, which, for us, echo the numerals on a clock.

This too shall pass
as we journey through a point of no return
This too shall pass
as terror binds itself into the fabric of the real
This too shall pass
as the untimely shifts from an exception to a new norm
This too shall pass
as we scroll through suffering on screen rolls
This too shall pass
as manifestos fuel another passive gesture
This too shall pass
as ideals crumble into the dust of collapse
This too shall pass
as remnants of absence linger all around
This too shall pass
as we embrace the lapse of memory’s bound
This too shall recall
what has been cast into the depths of forgetting
This too shall dissolve
bloody borders into fields of tulips
This too shall bear
the weight of time, frame by frame
This too shall strike
in the name of discipline and balance
This too shall break down
under the guise of progressive justice
This too shall flicker
in endless darkness, eternally beyond fingerprints
This too shall cease
to recognize itself as it once was
This too
is what you hold the least, yet it lingers long
This too
is what you fear the worst
This too
is who you miss the most
This too
is where you leave behind
This too
is when you lose beyond

This Too, is derived from the phrase “This too shall pass,” believed to have originated in Farsi and among Sufi poets. The adage aims to bring joy in times of sorrow and melancholy in times of satisfaction, serving as a reminder of the ephemerality of all conditions. The written phrase, “.این نیز بگذرد” contains twelve characters, which, for us, echo the numerals on a clock.
The typographical numerals, drawing from the flowing interlaced forms of Islamic knot patterns such as Girih and Arabesque, reflect the never-ending cycle of events, symbolizing the infinite nature of time and its perpetual flow. The English translation of the phrase is formed using a circular grid inspired by Spacetime diagrams and influenced by Square Kufi script, and is painted in black on the body of the clock.
Aesthetically, the clock/table aims to simulate spacetime diagrams through its 720 wooden pieces and vibrant colors. A clock is an appliance that directly displays the passage of time, while a table is the object around which the passage of time takes place, whether in the form of dining, meeting, discussion, studying, planning or drawing lines of flights.

This Too
120x120x30 in

————————————————————————————
This Too, is derived from the phrase “This too shall pass,” believed to have originated in Farsi and among Sufi poets. The adage aims to bring joy in times of sorrow and melancholy in times of satisfaction, serving as a reminder of the ephemerality of all conditions. The written phrase, “.این نیز بگذرد” contains twelve characters, which, for us, echo the numerals on a clock.
The typographical numerals, drawing from the flowing interlaced forms of Islamic knot patterns such as Girih and Arabesque, reflect the never-ending cycle of events, symbolizing the infinite nature of time and its perpetual flow. The English translation of the phrase is formed using a circular grid inspired by Spacetime diagrams and influenced by Square Kufi script, and is painted in black on the body of the clock.
Aesthetically, the clock/table aims to simulate spacetime diagrams through its 720 wooden pieces and vibrant colors. A clock is an appliance that directly displays the passage of time, while a table is the object around which the passage of time takes place, whether in the form of dining, meeting, discussion, studying, planning or drawing lines of flights.

Poster Designed for the group exhibition, This Is Not a Map at @woodstreetgalleries, 11x17 inch
———————————————————————————
This is not a map brings together eight artists from Carnegie Mellon University’s Master of Fine Arts program. This collection of new works addresses contemporary notions of place, time, and storytelling. Hailing from five continents, all now living and working in Pittsburgh, the artists are each presenting an installation informed by their diverse studio practices, utilizing a broad range of mediums, from textiles and collages to video essays and digital sculpture. Where traditional mapmaking creates rigid understandings of constructs like nationhood, gender, and language, this exhibition offers fluid systems of way-finding between shifting and interlaced worlds. A dance is re-choreographed, an altar calls the past into the present, discarded objects find a new sense of value, and sensory fragments from childhood are restaged. Memory plays a vital role across the works on view, exploring how a body can chart through space on its own terms.

—————————————————————————-
Juxtaposing a luggage made of tulips with the typography of the lyric 'Tulips Rise from the Blood of the Nation’s Youth' by Aref Qazvini casts a critical eye on the recent surge in immigration following last year’s ruthless crackdown in Iran. The fact that we ourselves recently left the country with four 30kg-luggage in the aftermath of numerous 'Lālehs' (Tulips in Farsi) that rose during the protests, creates a paradox. This paradox revolves around the decision to stay and continue fighting for one's rights or to cease the struggle by simply leaving.
