2nd Friday Art Walk / Sayeh Ensemble / Sia Yazdanfar
July 12, 2024 @ 6:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Join us for an evening of live music & art this Friday evening at the ArtsCenter. The Sayeh Ensemble will be performing Iranian classical and Sufi music during the artist reception for expedition photographer Sia Yazdanfar. Two distinct collections of work are on display in the Sweet Bay Gallery & the Theater Gallery:
NO FRIENDS BUT THE MOUNTAINS provides a glimpse into the daily lives of Kurdish people in the namesake mountainous Kurdistan Province, where untamed landscapes are dotted by stepped villages, home to a unique culture, heritage, & language that has been preserved for centuries. These images are the result of long-term photographic expeditions in 2023.
RESTLESS ANAHITA is a kaleidoscopic journey through the fabric of female clothing in remote corners of Iran. The photographs are a variegated, parti-colored passage through the rainbow of traditional garb in my motherland. Highlighting garments from the northwest mountains of Gilan, to the sun-kissed islands of south-central Hormozgan, these images pay homage to our mothers, sisters, and daughters
