The vibrant art works gathered in this exhibition are a product of this time and this place, where we are the happiest and the most miserable. A product of a land in constant state of flux, a realm where extraordinary circumstances always persist. It is the ambition of this exhibition to show that against such a back drop, purity of thought and approach is still possible and deserves appreciation and exposure.This exhibition brings together thirty female artists forming a collective union which becomes the emblematic Simorgh. This concept of collective unity, which arises from the diversity of the individual characters and at the same time benefits from it, is meant to show the spirit of the times that we live in and perseverance of female artists in traveling their own path, with belief that the journey itself is treasurable. Iranian female artists are constantly expanding their artistic expression, exploring identity, resilience and storytelling. Freedom, Liberation, emancipation, wings of flight and flight are threads that have been highlighted in this exhibition.

Black is the absence of visual perception. It does not reflect, emit, transmit or receive. Black does not exist in nature.
White is the achromatic perception of maximum brightness and luminosity. White does not exist in nature either.
It is perhaps an impossible and wishful undertaking to have the contemporary art of our land judged and/or appreciated outside the preconceived notion and prevalent world public opinions. Does the world really need contrasts to create a distinguishable reality?
As a Nation we are neither black nor white. We like to be viewed away from the a priori clichés of right and wrong, and the prefixed notions of good and bad. In other words, we like to be seen as we are, in our diversity and complexity.
