A Postcard from Tehran|An Exhibition in Seattle
Centering the Experience of Immigration
Ch.01 

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 its first chapter, which took place in November 2023, ANTiPODE activated the 7th and 8th floors of the RailSpur Building for three weeks., with a multi media group exhibition of Iranian artists and events including short-film selection and movie screenings curated from Tehran, and Jazz nights and experimental music performances featuring local artists from Seattle. ANTiPODE organizes its events to better engage with the Seattle community and to activate its gallery as a meeting space and connecting point for the artists and viewers. The pictures below are from this chapter.
