Poster Design & Visual Communication
Arash Fouladvand Academy (AFocademy) / L’Orchestre Philharmonique de Paris-Est
– 2021

Elahe Panahi developed the poster design and visual communication for La Dame de l’Opéra d’Iran, a project presented through the AFocademy platform in collaboration with L’Orchestre Philharmonique de Paris-Est. The visual strategy focuses on translating the lyrical and dramatic qualities of the opera into a contemporary graphic language, establishing a dialogue between musical performance and visual narration.

The poster functions as a visual mediator, addressing questions of cultural representation and the ways in which meaning is constructed within contemporary communication systems. Through a balance of symbolic references and contemporary visual approaches, the design reflects on how graphic practice can shape the perception and framing of cultural narratives.

This project reflects Panahi’s ongoing interest in the relationship between image-making and cultural identity within contemporary visual communication practice.
