WE «Sham Art Gallery, Tehran, Iran»

We are strength.

We are justice.

We are right.

We are freedom.

We are the present.

We are the future.

We are hope.

We are life.

Paul Éluard

We” is an exhibition exploring the interwoven relationships between the nature, belonging, and femininity.

Curated by Elahe Panahi and developed in collaboration with Room Art Gallery, the exhibition was conceived as an immersive and conceptually unified experience presented across multiple gallery spaces. The curatorial process focused on shaping meaningful dialogues between artworks and their environment, presenting the same body of work within distinct spatial contexts to expand audience perception and interpretation.

Panahi’s contribution included artistic direction and curatorial development, encompassing spatial composition, lighting design, and the careful selection and placement of works to construct a cohesive visual narrative that encourages reflection and active engagement.

The participating artists — Elahe Panahi, Zahrasadat Hakim, Somayeh Panahi, Baran Pourabbas, Fatemeh (Banafsheh) Pishkhan, and Fatemeh Joneidi — engage with these themes through perspectives that are both personal and collectively interconnected.
