Tirdad Hashemi & Soufia Erfanian

The paintings and drawings of Tirdad Hashemi, who left Iran to live freely as a queer person, tell stories that transcend borders, stories of openness to the world and to otherness. The creation of elective communities and the representation of plural identities run through their work, which crosses emotional and political narratives. Convinced that art requires the presence of others, they often work with their partner Soufia Erfanian, also in exile from Iran, to create four-handed works that enable them to express their emotions without words.
