SCAD Museum of Art:

Mona Bozorgi 'Strain and Strand'

Mona Bozorgi (SCAD M.F.A., photography, 2018) uses experimental photographic processes to examine the intersections of representation, objecthood, and gender. Bridging photography, sculpture, and fiber arts, her latest body of work expands on her ongoing series Threads of Freedom, which explores the role of imagery in Iranian women’s self-representation and performance of gender amid broader sociopolitical movements in the country. Printing photographs on silk then unraveling and reassembling them, Bozorgi overlays “selfie” images originally shared on social media of women participating in protests against government mandates enforcing the hijab, or headscarf. On display now through May 17.
