Description

Gallery 263 is pleased to announce "The Carpet Grew Like a Garden," the first-ever solo exhibition by Shabnam Jannesari, an Iranian-born and Massachusetts-based artist. This show is part of Gallery 263’s Exhibition Proposal Series, a program in which exhibitions are selected by a competitive jurying process. In "The Carpet Grew Like a Garden," Jannesari’s large-scale paintings illuminate the life the artist left behind in Iran. Through the lens of personal experiences, Jannesari explores the censorship of Iranian women by an overarching patriarchy and invites a dialog to reconsider assumptions about women whose lives have been circumscribed by Islamic culture.
