In the main gallery we are proud to present a provocative and groundbreaking exhibit, Postcards from Tehran, a collaboration with the Aaran Gallery of Tehran, Iran, curated by Nazilla Noebashari. The show breaks down the barriers of political prejudice to exhibit for the first time in Los Angeles the work of 7 Iranian artists, and 2 artists from California who migrated from Iran. Both social commentary and a poetical discourse of Persian culture, Postcards from Tehran represents unique viewpoint of contemporary artists from Iran whose dissenting viewpoints will be a revelation to a national American public whose main knowledge about Iran is derived from corporate cable news channels.
