Iran pavilion in Venice to reopen after closure over Raisi’s passing

The official Iranian pavilion at the 2024 Venice Biennale will reopen on May 28 after a four-day closure from May 23 to 26 to honor the memory of Ayatollah Seyyed Ebrahim Raisi and his companions, who were martyred in a copter crash on May 19.
The closure was a mark of respect for the national mourning period in Iran, ISNA reported.
The pavilion’s reopening marks the continuation of Iran’s participation in the 60th edition of the Venice Biennale, showcasing its contributions to the international art scene.
The Iranian pavilion presents works by artists such as Mostafa Goudarzi, Kazem Chalipa, Morteza Asadi, Abdolhamid Qadirian, and Gholam Ali 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.
