​​Born in the aftermath of the 1979 Islamic Revolution, a generation of Iranian artists has carried the weight of political tension, cultural transition, and inner contradiction. Their experiences marked by censorship, isolation, and resilience have deeply shaped how they see themselves and the world around them.

​

Among them, Iranian women artists have long been defined by narrow narratives, depicted either as victims of state and patriarchy, or as exotic symbols through a Western lens. Inner Fragments challenges these assumptions. The works in this exhibition reveal personal, poetic, and often universal concerns that transcend identity labels. The dialogue that unfolds between the artists and the viewers is quiet yet powerful, opening a space of recognition and shared emotion that moves beyond geography or politics.

​

Through this collaboration between Mahsa Soroudi and Parisa Ghaderi, Inner Fragments serves as a bridge, inviting ongoing dialogue and expanding how Iranian women are seen and understood in contemporary art. These artists are not defined by restriction, but by their ability to create meaning and beauty from within it.
