Recalling the future

de Aras Amiri, David Hodge, Rozita Sharafjahan, Hamed Yousefi

The exhibition featured artworks by 29 Iranian artists, many exhibiting in the UK for the first time. The artists challenge assumptions of 'Iranian-ness' as a fixed, timeless entity, and investigate the social and historical construction of identity, as well as their contribution to problematic political situations.
