SUMMARY:🚀 Riding West with Zafron in My Blood: Exhibit Launch
DESCRIPTION:EXHIBITION LAUNCH\nJoin us on June 6\, 2026\, at RAID Gallery for the opening of Riding West with Zafron in My Blood\, a powerful new exhibition by Sarvi Ghadim. \nSpend the evening immersed in Ghadim’s evocative large-scale works and meet the artist in person as we celebrate the launch of this striking new body of work. \nThis is a ticketed event\, with tickets available through Eventbrite. \nAbout the Exhibition\nBorn in the aftermath of Iran’s Women\, Life\, Freedom movement\, this series imagines a post-apocalyptic Iran in which women have finally broken free. Yet their liberation comes at a cost: their skin stripped away\, their faces erased\, leaving behind haunting silhouettes that embody both survival and defiance. Around them\, animals roam unshackled\, moving alongside the women in a shared rhythm of resistance\, dance\, and renewal. \nAt the heart of the work is sorority: no woman is left behind. Together they rise\, bound by resilience\, courage\, and an unyielding longing for a better future. The series exists as both elegy and celebration — a tribute to Iranian womanhood\, endurance\, and the enduring force of sisterhood. \nRendered in oil on large-scale canvas\, the works evoke power\, presence\, and emotional intensity. As an Iranian woman\, I have long been inspired by the profound solidarity of women in Iran: how they stand together\, fight together\, and imagine freedom together. This series is dedicated to that strength — to women who remain unbroken\, who reclaim their freedom\, and who dance toward a new world..
