Samira Eskandarfar, still, I Am Not Me.
"Two powerful, eye-opening programs deconstruct
and recontextualize women’s complex relationship with Islam in Iranian
culture and society. Ranging from experimental film and video to
documentaries, the works draw attention to ways women are posited both within
Islam and at its border, with codes of sexual propriety, veiling and
separation functioning as signifiers of a condition fraught with
contradiction and hope."
Haleh Anvari, still, Power of Cliché.
"Artists include Haleh Anvari, Samira
Eskandarfar, Loghman Khaledi, Firouzeh Khorosvani, Nassrin Nasser, Pooya
Razi, Jinoos Taghizadeh and Nikoo Tarkhani. Part of the Los
Angeles/Islam Arts Initiative (LA/IAI), which links nearly 30
L.A. institutions to explore traditional and contemporary arts from
Islamic regions and their significant global diasporas."
