Iranian exhibition in Venice Biennale stands in solidarity with Gaza: Envoy

Iran’s Ambassador to Italy, Mohammad-Reza Sabouri, visited the official pavilion of the Islamic Republic of Iran at the 2024 Venice Biennale, showcasing Iranian artists’ works.
Sabouri emphasized the strategic depth of Iran’s policies in the Middle East, noting that amid the sad conditions in Gaza, such exhibitions could provide solace to the oppressed Palestinian people and raise awareness about the nefarious goals and crimes of the Zionist regime.
Sabouri praised the exhibition’s content, layout, and artistic quality, suggesting it as a profound reflection of current regional dynamics. Notably, the pavilion’s theme and artworks are meticulously selected in response to the region’s transformations.
He anticipated that visitors would deeply contemplate these aspects after viewing the showcased works.
Iran’s cultural attaché in Italy Mohammad-taqi Amini accompanied Sabouri and also visited Iran’s pavilion.
The Iranian pavilion presents works by artists such as Mostafa Goodarzi, Kazem Chalipa, Morteza Asadi, Abdolhamid Qadirian, and Gholamali Taheri, all revolving around the oppression of Gaza’s children.
The pavilion features a selected piece from the media section of the 16th Fajr Visual Arts Festival, titled ‘Mirrors of Light’ by Maryam Safaei and Mohammad Amin Owji. This interactive installation, based on Persian architectural geometry and ancient mirror craftsmanship, creates a celestial and paradisiacal atmosphere through light reflection.
