STATELESS. Artists Respond to the Refugee Crisis Featuring the work of Gohar Dashti in conjunction with Mehdi Ghadyanloo, Pantea Karimi, and Jodi Stevens Music at the reception: Joseph Boulos-Doumbek, Noah Mangelson-Electric Guitar (emulating the Oud), and John Bonoan-Electric Bass Lecture: Exhibition Stateless brings together the work of four artists who reflect on the recent refugee crisis and issues of human displacement and migration. The Syrian conflict and the subsequent European refugee crisis have dominated not only the news headlines, but also discussions among artists and intellectuals around the world. Due to the significance of these recent events, the College of Visual and Performing Arts has dedicated an exhibition to the topic of migration. Stateless will bring together the works crisis in the Middle East. Through a series of astonishing staged photographs in the remote deserts of the Middle East, Tehran-based photographer Gohar Dashti envisions the plight of homelessness for the millions of people who have recently fled such war zones. Known for his ironic and surreal trompe l'oeil murals in Tehran, through a series of intricate prints artist Mehdi Ghadyanloo displays the difficulties of displacement by portraying crowds of people trapped in uncertain situations. Meanwhile, California-based artist Pantea Karimi showcases a multi-media installation of abstracted medieval maps of major Middle Eastern ports, alluding to a glorious bygone era during which migration of people from and to the Middle East contributed to the advancement of knowledge and commerce. Lastly, through a series of threads interrupted by objects and images, which capture the precarious lives of stateless people, the Southcoast-based Site-specific installation artist Jodi Stevens follows the grim patterns of migration from the Middle East to Europe. In its entirety, the exhibition hopes to inspire the viewer to reflect on the struggles endured in the displacement of migrants. Curated by Dr. Pamela Karimi with assistance from students in her Islamic Art class. Special thanks to Robert Klein Gallery in Boston and Howard Griffin Gallery in London.

artist_biographical note:
Gohar Dashti received her M.A. in Photography from the Fine Art University of Tehran in 2005. After studying photography in Iran, she has spent the last 12 years making the large scale of her practice concerning in social issues with particular references to history and culture through a convergence of interest in anthropology and sociology. She tries with her own means to express the world around her. Her starting point is always her surrounding, her memory, but with her very personal perception of things. She tries to trace her relationship to society and the world in it’s most sensitive way. Her practice continuously develops from life events and connection between the personal and the universal, the political and the fantasised. She has participated in several art residencies and scholarships such as MacDowell Colony, Peterborough, NH, USA (2017), DAAD award, UdK Berlin, DE (2009-2011); Visiting Arts (1Mile2 Project), Bradford/London, UK (2009) and International Arts & Artists (Art Bridge), Washington DC, USA (2008). She has held various exhibitions around the world, being shown in many museums, festivals and biennales. Her works are in many collections including Victoria and Albert Museum, London (UK), Mori Art Museum, Tokyo (JP), Museum of Fine Arts (MFA), Boston (USA), Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City (USA), National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C. (USA), Museum of Contemporary Photography (MoCP), Chicago (USA) and Kadist Art Foundation, Paris (FR).
