Of Wounds and Songs Opening Reception

Join us for a talk with artists Mohsen Khalili and Arezou Moeini with a reception to follow. Meet the artists, enjoy some light refreshments, and take the opportunity to connect through art and conversation.

This exhibition features eight Iranian Canadian artists—Ali Ahadi, Mohsen Khalili, Shoora Majedian, Banafsheh Modaressi, Arezou Moeini, Anahita Norouzi, Hadis Vahidi, and Reyhan Yazdani—each offering a unique visual response to the themes of resistance and resilience, while also engaging with ideas of identity, belonging, and power relations. Rooted in a common cultural background, their works explore how individuals creatively challenge social and cultural conventions. Through painting, sculpture, photography, video, and installation, they reflect on the tension between personal experience and public life, revealing how collective memory and lived experience lead to the development of new points of view.
