A Postcard from Tehran|An Exhibition in Seattle
Centering the Experience of Immigration

Ch 02 

A postcard from Tehran, was a two chapter art exhibition in Seattle curated by ANTiPODE, at Railspur Building, centering the experience of immigration and the process of transforming Seattle into a new home. ANTiPODE framed Tehran and Seattle as cultural antipodes and explored their relationship by showcasing video art, drawings, paintings, prints, sculptures, installations, and posters by prominent artists who maintain a connection to Tehran, whether physically or in heart. 

In the second chapter, the exhibition was moved to the first floor of the same location. This extension included selected artworks from the previous exhibition and works from two new artists: one Iranian artist based in Tehran and one American-Ukrainian artist based in Seattle. Additionally, part of the space was been transformed into a temporary artist studio where the audience could learn more about the process of creation and see the results of a collaborative project of two artists. The pictures below are from this chapter.
