20/20 Hindsight
6th Annual Persian Art Exhibition
The Irving Art Association is sponsoring the 6th annual Persian Art Exhibition, an online only exhibition depicting works of art from Iranian artists who live in Texas and neighboring states. 112 works from 42 artists are included in this exhibition. “2020 HINDSIGHT” can be viewed online.
All subjects were open to be entered, but the exhibit theme is a saying by Rumi “Come, let us appreciate each other, because you never know we might be suddenly separated,” (Divan-i Kebir, v. 3, no. 1535). This concept of appreciation can include COVID-related gratitude but is in no way limited to topics related to the coronavirus. Any art submission that touches on the theme of gratitude and/or a deeper sense of appreciation for one’s families and communities was welcome.
The exhibit is curated by Pouran Lashini and juried by Fari Rahimi, Roya Mansorkhni, and Soheyla Rashidyan
