”S*HEROES – The Nomadic Women of Persia” is the start of an exhibition series that will present the unknown creators of non-European cultures within a multimedia, contemporary exhibition, and to highlight and celebrate their artistic work. Ancient crafts and contemporary art will be brought together in a new dialogue.
The galleries Anahita – Arts of Asia and Anahita Contemporary will become a place for interactive encounters and opportunities to explore issues of diversity, culture and empowerment. Nomadic textile art was produced exclusively by women. As such, the history of nomadic art is also a history of strong women. The rediscovery of nomadic art and its creators should strengthen the women’s movement and serve as a powerful counterbalance to historic stereotypes of Muslim women. S*HEROES focuses on traditional crafts, showcasing their influence on modern art and design and raises awareness for creative, authentic production processes and sustainable lifestyles.
