Mashid Mohadjerin: Freedom is not Free

Pananti Atelier in Milan present the solo show of Iranian photographer Mashid Mohadjerin
“Freedom is not Free“, curated by Twenty14.

Through the lens of her camera Mashid Mohadjerin explores stories of women in resistance in the Middle East and North Africa. Creating a multidimensional work which, through its varied formats such as photography, collage, text, and archival images, takes the viewer on a dreamlike journey neither bound by space nor time.

The exhibition focus on the private and public world of Iranian women who grew up after the Revolution of 1979 and on places of significance from Mashid’s childhood. For these women the political can no longer be separated from the personal – their bodies, their private and public life have been and continue to be influenced by the Revolution. Mashid’s work is permeated with the dueling nature of documentation and art, past and present, pain and joy, war and peace, loss and creation.
