SUMMARY:SZ Gallery’s 5th Persian Garden: First Friday Art Walk
DESCRIPTION:SZ Gallery’s 5th Persian Garden is an exhibit that tells culturally rich stories of Persian culture through contemporary and classically-influenced pieces. Monir & Mehdi Ghanbeigy from Iran have created multimedia artwork together since 1970\, combining Mehdi’s detailed work with Persian miniatures and painting\, Monir’s background in ceramics\, and their mutual love for the history of Persian art.\n.\nMonir and Mehdi began working together in Iran before they moved to England for further training at London and Canterbury College of Art. After returning to Iran in 1980\, they developed a novel style in ceramics and painting\, influenced by both modern art as well as the very rich traditions of Persian pottery and storybook miniatures. They have shown their art at numerous national and international exhibitions\, including the 2012 Venice Biennial\, and have taught for many years at several universities in Iran and in their private workshop. Their pieces are permanently on exhibit at the Contemporary Art Museum in Iran\, as well as several museums around the world.\n.\n#persian #art #paintings #persiangarden #szgallery#mercerisland

SUMMARY:Mercer Island Art Walk: SZ Gallery: I'm Still Alive
DESCRIPTION:During this (Frist) Friday MI Art Walk\, stop by the SZ Gallery with a spirit of empathy & sense of curiosity\, as you explore and learn from Palestinian and Arab Artists. \nIn gratitude for and collaboration with the Zawyeh Gallery\, SZ Gallery commits to giving voice to Palestinians and their experiences\, focusing on their humanity\, through creative expressions of art & culture. \nAfter losing his home and studio in Gaza City in October\, Maisara Baroud began drawing his diaries under the devastating Israeli genocidal war.

Through his paintings\, he documents displacement\, brutal bombardment\, the fear of loss\, and the anxiety of protecting loved ones. Baroud says\, “I draw to tell my friends that I am still alive.” – Excerpt by Rana Anani \n

SUMMARY:Mercer Island Art Walk: SZ Gallery
DESCRIPTION:During this (Frist) Friday MI Art Walk\, stop by the SZ Gallery with a spirit of empathy & sense of curiosity\, as you explore and learn from Palestinian and Arab Artists. \n“Posters for Gaza” sheds light on the humanitarian crisis taking place in Gaza and demands recognition for Palestinian rights. This exhibit follows two previous shows\, “We Are Palestine\,” which touched on universal themes of the Holy Land and focused on humanizing the Palestinian people. “PALESTINE: Tracing Boundaries” focused more on architecture and featured Jerusalem (Al-Quds) through architectural interpretations\, in addition to the impacts of imposed walls and boundary edges on the lives of the indigenous people. \n Suzanne Zahr\, Art & Architecture | SZ Gallery \n2441 76th Ave SE\, Suite 160 Mercer Island\, WA \n (First) Friday\, May 3\, 5-8PM \n **FREE** ALL are welcome! \nIn this unique exhibition\, twenty-six artists come together to raise their voices\, through a series of posters produced specifically for this exhibition. The posters shed light on the ethnic cleansing and horrific massacres taking place in the Gaza Strip – possibly the worst in modern history – demanding the recognition of Palestinian rights to live freely on their land with dignity. \nRepresenting a long tradition in Palestinian history\, political posters were produced extensively in the seventies and the eighties by the Palestinian Liberation Organization with the contribution of Palestinian\, Arab\, and international artists. Posters played a crucial role in supporting the justice of the Palestinian cause and promoting it globally guided by the freedom\, dignity\, resilience\, and the ongoing aspiration for independence\, sought by Palestinians. \nUniformly sized and designed in a simplified manner\, the posters of each artist reflect their uniqueness in terms of style\, materials\, and the underlying narratives. Steering away from the digital norm\, participating artists poured their effort into producing those posters utilizing a variety of materials including acrylics\, inks\, charcoal\, collage\, and mixed media on paper\, while some artists employed various digital design techniques.
