The show, which opened on May 21, featured dozens of pieces by Iranian artists and focused on the cultural ties between Iran and Armenia.
Organized by Iran’s cultural Center in Armenia in partnership with the Daya Cultural and Artistic Center and the Nasr Iranian Cultural Institute, the exhibit showcased paintings, calligraphy, photography, illustration, digital art, sculpture, doll-making and handicrafts.
The opening ceremony brought together Mohammad Asadi-Movahed, cultural counselor at Iran’s Embassy in Yerevan; Safarian, head of the Armenian Union of Artists; Serineh Rostamloo, a representative of the Bishop Ardak Manoukian Museum in Tehran; and a number of artists and cultural officials from both countries.
Artists explored themes such as shared architecture, traditional garments, Armenian national symbols, and historic moments like the 1992 liberation of Shushi.
In his remarks, Safarian stressed the value of continued cultural exchange and described Iran as a nation with deep artistic roots.
Asadi-Movahed called the exhibition a meaningful step in strengthening mutual understanding through the universal language of art.
