Emotional Numbness: the impact of war on the human psyche and ecosystems

 



Curators Atefeh Khas and Minoosh Zomorodinia write:


"The exhibition focus is the impact of war on environments, and war’s effects on inhabitants of war zones. Recent escalating tensions between Iran and the United States is creating an increase in anxiety about potential war between these countries. Thus, the goal of the exhibition is to create a platform to share, meet, discuss, and cross borders, by exhibiting art which considers the impacts of war and the varying relationships between Iran and the United States. We believe art has the ability to affect perceptions, develop meaningful dialogue, and bring awareness about critical issues to the public."



September 18 - October 16, in Tehran, Iran at Platform 3

To see one of our prints on the wall in Tehran and then to see gallery visitors looking close was a thrill beyond compare. Yes, Tehran... the perfect place to present one of our beach plastic soldier portraits from our series The True Cost of Plastican exhibition that explicates the oil=plastic equation and the impact of war.
