As the fight for women’s rights rages on in Iran, a group of artists have come together for an exhibition showcasing a broad range of Persian art that transcends geopolitical and cultural borders.
Curated by Shiva Pakdel, “Breaking Down Barriers: The Art of Iran” runs through April 23 at the Sausalito Center for the Arts and features more than 240 works in mediums ranging from antique art and artifacts to textiles, ceramics and photographs. The exhibition features works by contemporary Iranian artists living in the United States and Iran.
In addition to Bay Area painter Farnaz Zabetian’s “Woman, Life, Freedom,” an oil-on-canvas version of her mural in San Francisco’s Clarion Alley, you can catch a ticketed screening of Iranian filmmaker Bahman Ghobadi’s “No One Knows About Persian Cats,” co-written by imprisoned Iranian-American journalist Roxana Saberi.
Details: Open 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday-Sunday through April 23 at Sausalito Center for the Arts, 750 Bridgeway, Sausalito. Exhibit is free. Find more information and details on ticketed events at www.sausalitocenterforthearts.org.
