DAWN OF THE COLD SEASON An Exhibition Inspired by the Poet Forough Farrokhzad

DAWN OF THE COLD SEASON An Exhibition Inspired by the Poet Forough Farrokhzad

“For me, the most inspiring aspect of this project is the opportunity to introduce the great work and sensibility of an Iranian female icon to the international community. Many Iranian intellectuals consider Forough a cultural godmother of modernist literature in Iran, but she died so young (at the age of 32) that I also think of her as our cultural daughter. A rebel with a cause, Forough spoke with awe-inspiring rawness and maturity. She was an existentialist, feminist provocateur.

Her work has given me the inspiration to continue my own artistic journey during my 30 years in exile from Iran”. – Sussan Deyhim
