A multifaceted view of Iranian photography by women

Bringing together twenty-three Iranian women photographers, this volume maps a broad field of practices rather than a single visual perspective. Documentary and conceptual work sit alongside one another, addressing Iran’s social and historical upheavals while returning to questions of memory, conflict, loss, and the pressures between tradition and modernity. The collection foregrounds photography as a space in which women artists record, interpret, and shape accounts of their country’s past and present. With work by figures including Hoda Afshar, Shadi Ghadirian, Hengameh Golestan, Gohar Dashti, and Newsha Tavakolian, it offers a concentrated introduction to a range of distinct photographic approaches.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in contemporary Iranian art and visual culture
  • Photography audiences exploring documentary and conceptual practices
  • Those seeking work by women photographers from Iran

Breathing Space showcases the work of twenty-three women photographers from Iran and their diverse approaches to their craft. Exploring a range of photographic styles and genres, they record the past and present upheavals of their homeland as well as tackling subjects such as the nature of memory, the tension between tradition and modernity, and the scars of conflict and loss. Whether documentary or conceptual, these images have global resonance and speak of the power of women to shape the world.
