East - West Divan

an exhibition of contemporary art from Afghanistan, Iran and Pakistan.

East - West Divan on the 53rd edition of The International Art Exhibition Venice Biennale.

Met:
Shezad Dawood

East-West Divan meditates upon links between the artistic traditions in Venice and the Persian artistic heritage shared by these countries, revealing the tightly knotted relationship between East and West - both in life and the imagination. The exhibition will present recent works by ten artists from three countries, better known in the West for stereotypes of terrorism and Islamic extremism than for their rich artistic heritage and vibrant contemporary cultures.

Curated by Jemima Montagu.

Shezad Dawood (Galerie Gabriel Rolt) will participate in East - West Divan.

Vernissage 4 - 6 June
