Brazilian artist’s works on display in Tehran

A new exhibition titled ‘The Sovereignty of Art Revolution and the Revolution of Art Sovereignty’ by anti-Zionist Brazilian artist João Abido Galvão opened at Tehran’s Holy Defense Museum.
The exhibition, running from June 11 to 24, features 20 pieces of fabric art critiquing imperialism and Zionism, IRNA reported.
Galvão has donated his works to Tehran’s Holy Defense Museum. The exhibit highlights the longstanding connection between art and politics, reflecting how artists have historically used their work to comment on political and social conditions.
The impact of artistic movements on the works of revolutionary artists is undeniable. One prominent artwork during the Russian Revolution era is ‘Beat the Whites with the Red Wedge’ by El Lissitzky, which premiered in 1920.
